1. Joseph Campbell
 Joseph Campbell’s approach to narrative
was that most narratives follow a common
pattern of the mythic hero quest, journey
or monomyth.
 Most narratives, regardless of their time,
place or culture , follow the same
narrative stages and contain recognisable
characters. i.e. archetypes
