The Archetype Series: 3 Body Problem
Auggie Salazar: The Judge
It is revealed the character Auggie Salazar on the hit Netflix show 3 Body Problem embodies the light attributes of the judge archetype. The judge, while operating in its light attributes, seeks to bring balance to power structures through justice and compassion.
There are numerous examples from season 1 where we saw Auggie operating as the judge. Auggie’s use of her nano fibers invention to dole out different forms of justice throughout the season is one key example.
Auggie’s nano fibers invention for example, was instrumental in destroying the ship belonging to the ETO cult that was involved in her friend Jack’s murder. Everyone on the ship including the cofounder of the ETO were killed but, despite getting a form of justice for the harm the ETO caused, our archetypical judge Auggie wrestled with the morality and ethics of having such a powerful institution like the military use her invention to kill others.
By the end of the season we saw Auggie pivot into a new role where she utilized her nano fibers invention to end a dysentery epidemic in a community in Mexico. Essentially as the judge, Auggie utilized her invention to empower a disadvantaged community thus balancing the scales of power.
