Since Jung was Swiss, I wouldn't rely too heavily on him for an English definition! As for mixing up Parton, Berry, Hobbs and Hetchins, that's something I'd never do. Dolly with her tarty image and curly stays figure is a perfect allegory for Hetchins while Halle exudes pure class and beauty, just like a Hobbs. :)
