The reference to universal human instincts, themes, and preoccupations found in popular myths, novels, and films suggests the concept of archetypes as proposed by Carl Jung. Archetypes are universal patterns of behavior, symbols, and themes that are present in the collective unconscious of all humans, regardless of culture or time period.
