    The archetypal critic that aims to detect collective unconscious objects coded in literal works is formed by Carl Gustav Jung. When author or poet used archetypes of humanity, he/she may reach to universality from individuality. Asaf Hâlet Çelebi who is one of Republic period poets, expresses his unconscious dreams by mixing common traces of human soul in his poems that have epic atmosphere. One of the unconscious traces in his poems is “anima” archetype that is defined as feminine side of male. In this study, expressions of anima archetype in Asaf Hâlet Çelebi’s poems are surveyed and outcomes are evaluated. The performed study have shown that anima archetype which has been expressed by Jung as a common/collective unconscious archetype in every person is widely seen in Asaf Hâlet Çelebi’s poems. Therefore, it has been discovered that Poet benefited from archetypes and outcomed the unconscious things to consciousness level. Once all the obtained results of this study are evaluated, it is seen that the bridge from single personality to universality can be formed by using archetypes in literal works.
