15. The Hero’s Journey

16. The Hero’s Quest
The Monomyth

17. Joseph Campbell “Follow your bliss.”
1904 – 1987
American mythologist, writer, and lecturer.
Campbell noticed reoccurring elements and patterns in myths from around the world. Most notably, reoccurring hero myths.

18. “The hero is the same, but the costume changes.”
Joseph Campbell called this the Monomyth, or “one story.”
This is the diagram he created to illustrate this concept:

Home

21. Birth/Beginning
Fabulous circumstances surrounding conception, birth, and childhood establish the hero’s pedigree, and often constitute their own Monomyth cycle.

22. Call to Adventure
Call to Adventure: The hero is called to adventure by some external event or messenger. The hero may accept the call willingly or reluctantly.

23. Frodo’s Call to Adventure

24. Helpers/Amulet
During the early stages of the journey, the hero will often receive aid from a protective figure. This supernatural helper can take a wide variety of forms, such as a wizard, and old man, a dwarf, a crone, or a fairy godmother. The helper commonly gives the hero a protective amulet or weapon for the journey.

25. Crossing the Threshold
Upon reaching the threshold of adventure, the hero must undergo some sort of ordeal in order to pass from the everyday world into the world of adventure. This trial may be as painless as entering a dark cave or as violent as being swallowed up by a whale. The important feature is the contrast between the familiar world of light and the dark, unknown world of adventure.

26. Alice crossing the threshold

27. Tests
The hero travels through the dream-like world of adventure where he must undergo a series of tests. These trials are often violent encounters with monsters, sorcerers, warriors, or forces of nature. Each successful test further proves the hero's ability and advances the journey toward its climax.

28. Luke Skywalker’s Tests

29. Helpers
The hero is often accompanied on the journey by a helper who assists in the series of tests and generally serves as a loyal companion. Alternately, the hero may encounter a supernatural helper in the world of adventure who fulfills this function.

30. Climax/Supreme Ordeal
This is the critical moment in the hero's journey in which there is often a final battle with a monster, wizard, or warrior which facilitates the particular resolution of the adventure.

31. Harry’s Supreme Ordeal
(Start :45 seconds)

32. Flight
After accomplishing the mission, the hero must return to the threshold of adventure and prepare for a return to the everyday world. If the hero has angered the opposing forces by stealing the elixir or killing a powerful monster, the return may take the form of a hasty flight. If the hero has been given the elixir freely, the flight may be a benign stage of the journey.

33. Father-Figure (or mother or aunt or godmother or . . . )
The hero seeks forgiveness / peace / fellowship with father (or some other authority) figure.

34. Return
The hero again crosses the threshold of adventure and returns to the everyday world of daylight. The return usually takes the form of an awakening, rebirth, resurrection, or a simple emergence from a cave or forest. Sometimes the hero is pulled out of the adventure world by a force from the daylight world.

35. Dorothy’s Return

36. Elixir
The hero often takes possession of the treasure he’s been seeking, be it a magic sword, a token like the Grail, or a figurative “elixir” that leads to greater understanding or reconciliation.  Sometimes it is “peace on earth.” In Star Wars, Luke and company escape with the plans to the Death Star.  In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy escapes the castle with the Wicked Witch’s broomstick.
The object, knowledge, or blessing that the hero acquired during the adventure is now put to use in the everyday world. Often it has a restorative or healing function, but it also serves to define the hero's role in the society.

37. Home/End
The hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.
