m Anima levels of development: Repaired link to disambiguation page
Line 15:
Jung believed anima development has four distinct levels.
 
The first is ''[[Eve (Bible)|Eve]]'', named for the [[Genesis]] account of [[Adam and Eve]]. It deals with the emergence of a male's object of [[desire]], yet simultaneously generalizes all females as evil and powerless.
 
The second is ''Helen'', in allusion to [[Helen of Troy]] in [[Greek mythology]]. In this phase, women are viewed as capable of worldly success and of being self-reliant, intelligent and insightful, even if not altogether virtuous. This second phase is meant to show a strong schism in external talents (cultivated business and conventional skills) with lacking internal qualities (inability for virtue, lacking faith or imagination).
