By shadow I mean the negative side ofthe personality, the sum of all those

unpleasant qualities we like to hide,together with the insufficiently developedfunctions and the contents of the personalunconscious (CW, 7, p. 103)

Everyone carries a shadow, and the lessin the individuals conscious life, the

blacker and denser it is..If it is repressed

and isolated from consciousness, it never

gets corrected and it is liable to burst forthsuddenly in a moment of unawareness

CW, 11.
