Supernatural is being above or beyond what is natural, unexplainable by natural law or phenomena. In the Show Supernatural that's what the main characters have to face with.When Sam and Dean Winchester were just kids, their mother was horribly murdered in front of their father by something "supernatural". Their lives were never the same again. After their mother's murder, their father took an interest in the supernatural and the unexplained and raised the boys as warriors with skills to fight back against the unknown and protect the innocent. 22 years later, with Sam and Dean grown up, their father suddenly disappears on a suppose routine supernatural hunt. Sam and Dean search for their father and along the way help anyone with a supernatural problem with the help from their dad's journal that contains most of his knowledge about the supernatural that he had accumulated over his 22 years of none-stop obsessive hunting.
There is a lot of archetypes in supernatural the main ones being the three main characters. Dean Winchester- The rebel of the family that loves girls and beer. Sam Winchester- the Nerd that dropped out of college to follow the "family business". Then theirs the father, John Winchester- The Dead beat dad. Then theirs the typical archetypes such as; the supernatural hunters, the Angels, The demons, the psychotic victim, the damsil in distress, the prophet, the manipulator, The trickster. Sam and Dean Winchester are also Warriors, Saviors and the Heroes.
The MAIN symbols of this series are the titles. Nightmares(S.1;Ep.14), clowns (S.2;Ep.2), Bloody Mary(S.1;Ep.5), Faith(S.1;Ep.12), Hunted (S.2;Ep.10), Heart(S.2;Ep.17), The Magnificent Seven (S.3;Ep.1), Bedtime stories(S.3;Ep.5), Hell and Heaven(S.4;Ep.10), Death Takes a Holiday(S.4;Ep.15), Dark side of the moon(S.5;Ep.16).
Nightmares are bad dreams that you can wake up from. Clowns are loves by children all the time because they are funny and always smiley. Bloody Mary was the tale we all told that one kid that was annoying so we can freak them out. Faith is something everyone has when it comes to their meaning in life. Hunted- What's usually hunted is Deers, "rabbits"as elmer fud would say and birds. Heart I think of a girl who has a crush on someone and is always drawing hearts around his name and stuff. The Magnificent seven - The seven dwarfs come into my mind. Bedtime Stories I never got them read to me as a child but it's the three little pigs, Little red riding hood Etc. Hell And Heaven - Angels and Demons just pop in my head. Death takes a holiday- This to me sounds like someone dying on a holiday or a tragic accident happening on a holiday. Dark side of the moon - isn't that when we have a solar eclipse? because the moon is always bright even in the light.
Knowing everything about Supernatual the TV show makes it meaningful because it's interesting to me. No matter who the person is I believe everyone is interested in supernatural things. Even if they deny it they really can't because fairytales are supernatural, horror movies are supernatural (unless it actually happened). This film gives us a "myth to live by" because even though its just a show they have episodes based on true events OR episodes based on the bible and how the world is going to end. It makes people sit back and actually think about things in a different perspective. Also the lesson learned is to never take things for granted because the main characters Sam & Dean Winchester were never close to their father and when he passed they took it harder than when their mother passed just because they're father was around but he was too busy trying to find the demon who killed his wife. They didn't really have a childhood neither which is also something people should allow their children to have because they grow up so quick.

A couple of things didn't work very well for you here starting with the fact that you tried to do a whole television show instead of just one episode and this was not work-shopped so it is still very rough and more like pre-writing than an actual essay on the topic. What happened?
Oh, I brought up the whole series because just talking about 1 episode no one would get the purpose of their heroe's quest. I can agree it's still very rough but if I can fix it it would be exactly what you were looking for
