Shrek The Hero’s Journey

The Hero’s Journey Ordinary World Meeting with the Mentor Many myths, legends, and stories all have the same structure of events which Joseph Campbell called The Hero’s Journey. Ordinary World Meeting with the Mentor Call to Adventure Journey The Road Back The Return

Ordinary World The hero and the setting are ordinary as the story begins. As the story begins, Shrek is living in his swamp, wanting to be left alone, and generally disliked by all, but he’s gotten used to it.

Meeting with the Mentor The hero meets a mentor to gain confidence, advice, or training to face the adventure. The mentor also helps the hero to learn the lesson. Shrek meets Donkey who befriends and teaches Shrek through humor.

Call to Adventure The hero is presented with a problem, challenge, or adventure. After the fairy tale creatures invade his swamp, our hero is forced to visit Lord Farqud and is given his “quest”.

Journey These are the main events in the story. This includes the main conflicts and the climax (the most exciting part of the story) Shrek, and his companion Donkey, embark on the quest. Shrek now has various obstacles and challenges to overcome in order to finish the quests.

The Road Back The hero must return to the ordinary world. The two ogres get married and live happily ever after in the swamp.

The Return The hero returns from the journey and learns a valuable lesson about life Shrek learns that you can’t judge people based on how they look. If Shrek can find true love, anyone can. Layers of an onion!!!
