loki
85
14His feet are set on the path by the revelation that he is not who he thinks he is. He is a Jotun and not the son of Odin. This is the shattering of the false ego. He is confronted with a truth about himself that he would much rather disown-Carl Jung refers to this as the Shadow. One can not become King without embracing one's Shadow because the Shadow is the egg from which the King hatches.
At first, Loki refuses to accept his Shadow, attempting, instead, to reclaim his false ego. He attempts to re-establish himself as the Son of Odin by destroying his hated Shadow self, which translates literally into attempted genocide.
When this attempt fails, as it must, Loki has a choice. He can accept defeat and return to his former life with new limits imposed on him. He will never be King. He will never become the man he was born to be.
Or he can forge ahead, into the uncharted territory of a life stripped of identity and the security that comes from becoming what people expect of us to be.(dont mind the voice)
