JOSEPH CAMPBELL'S MONOMYTH

What is the hero's journey? What parts of the structure stand out and seem the most important to you?

   Joseph Campbell broke down the basic story every hero goes through. This is known as the Hero's Journey. The hero is starts off in his ordinary world. He is given the option of the journey/quest. Once they've accepted they enter a new and unexplored world. This world has different living beings, rules, and threats. But of course this hero can't face evil alone. He always has his companions there to help. Throughout this journey the hero and his allies go through a series of obstacles and tests. After facing pure evil and overcoming their power these hero's are rewarded with something meaningful, and worth it. They've changed and now live their lives differently. I really enjoy the part where they enter the new and different world because you can create anything you want and break/make the rules.
