Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The animus or anima figure, according to Carl Jung's theory, represents the unconscious feminine side in men (anima) and the unconscious masculine side in women (animus). It is a personification of the opposite-gender qualities and attributes that exist in the unconscious mind of an individual, rather than being always of the same sex, always positive, or never related to erotic fantasy.
