Summary/Abstract: The paper demonstrates a literary hermeneutic model based on Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of the archetypes and the collective unconscious, a model we have termed archetypal interpretation. Such an interpretation is possible with works of literature (and art in general) which Jung called visionary. This paper deals specifically with one of the archetypes, the Shadow, showing its actualisation in the character of Vezlevut (Beelzebub) in Dragi Mihajlovski’s novel The Death of the Scrivener.
