The document discusses the concept of the "hero's journey" storyline that is found across many cultures and stories. Joseph Campbell's research identified common stages in this narrative structure, including the hero's birth and humble origins, a period of exile and learning survival skills in childhood, and a series of trials faced by the hero once they accept a call to adventure. Popular books that follow this hero journey pattern, like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia, were among the most beloved by Australian children in a recent survey.

Monomyth
The document discusses Joseph Campbell's concept of the "hero's journey" or "monomyth" which describes a common pattern found in many mythological stories.

According to Rank, the hero is often the son of a king or leader whose birth was preceded by difficulties like a prophecy threatening his father's life. He is surrendered as a baby but survives and grows up, eventually finding and gaining acknowledgement from his distinguished parents. Campbell's hero's journey model describes the departure stage, which includes the hero receiving a call to adventure, potentially refusing the call, receiving supernatural aid from a guide, struggling to cross a threshold into an unknown realm, and undergoing a metamorphosis by being swallowed into the belly of

What Is An Archetype
An archetype is an original model or prototype that other similar things are based on. Carl Jung first applied the concept of archetypes to literature and proposed that part of the human mind contains a collective unconscious shared among all people. Joseph Campbell built on Jung's ideas and applied archetypes to world mythologies. Some common archetypes include the hero, lover, and scapegoat. The hero's journey is a well-known archetypal pattern involving stages of departure, initiation, and return. Archetypes can be expressed through various literary devices and genres.

THE HERO’S JOURNEY Joseph Campbell, an American mythol.docx
THE HERO’S JOURNEY
Joseph Campbell, an American mythological researcher, wrote a famous book entitled The
Hero with a Thousand Faces. In his lifelong research Campbell discovered many common patterns
running through hero myths and stories from around the world. Years of research lead
Campbell to discover several basic stages that almost every hero-quest goes through (no matter
what culture the myth is a part of). He calls this common structure “the monomyth.”
George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, claims that Campbell’s monomyth was the inspiration
for his groundbreaking films. Lucas also believes that Star Wars is such a popular saga because it
taps into a timeless story-structure which has existed for thousands of years.
Many followers of Campbell have defined the stages of his monomyth in various ways,
sometimes supplying different names for certain stages. For this reason there are many different
versions of the Hero’s Journey that retain the same basic elements.

Heroes exist in a world is considered ordinary or uneventful by those who live there. Often
the heroes are considered odd by those in the ordinary world and possess some ability or
characteristic that makes them feel out-of-place.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Dorothy in Kansas
The Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins in Hobbiton
Star Wars: Luke Skywalker on Tatooine
The Lion King: Simba at Pride Rock
THE CALL TO ADVENTURE
For heroes to begin their journeys, they must be called away from the ordinary world.
Fantastic quests don’t happen in everyday life. Heroes must be removed from their typical
environment. Most heroes show a reluctance to leave their home, their friends, and their life to
journey on a quest. But in the end they accept their destiny.
Usually there is a discovery, some event, or some danger that starts them on the heroic path.
Heroes find a mystic object or discover their world is in danger. In some cases, heroes happen
upon their quest by accident. Campbell puts it like this, “A blunder—the merest chance—reveals
an unsuspected world.”
The new world the hero is forced into is much different than the old one. Campbell describes
this new world as a “fateful region of both treasure and danger…a distant land, a forest, a
kingdom underground, beneath the waves, or above the sky, a secret island, lofty mountaintop,
or profound dream state…a place of strangely fluid and polymorphous beings, unimaginable
torments, superhuman deeds, and impossible delight”. This description may seem pretty vague,
but think of all the various fantasy realms characters have entered throughout the years:
Middle-Earth, Oz, Narnia, Wonderland. It could even be outer space, a
haunted house, or the Matrix. Regardless of the details, the new world is sure to be filled with
adventure.

THE HERO’S JOURNEY Joseph Campbell, an American mythol.docx
THE HERO’S JOURNEY
Joseph Campbell, an American mythological researcher, wrote a famous book entitled The
Hero with a Thousand Faces. In his lifelong research Campbell discovered many common patterns
running through hero myths and stories from around the world. Years of research lead
Campbell to discover several basic stages that almost every hero-quest goes through (no matter
what culture the myth is a part of). He calls this common structure “the monomyth.”
George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, claims that Campbell’s monomyth was the inspiration
for his groundbreaking films. Lucas also believes that Star Wars is such a popular saga because it
taps into a timeless story-structure which has existed for thousands of years.
Many followers of Campbell have defined the stages of his monomyth in various ways,
sometimes supplying different names for certain stages. For this reason there are many different
versions of the Hero’s Journey that retain the same basic elements.

The Hero's Journey Outline
The Hero’s Journey is a pattern of narrative identified by the American scholar Joseph Campbell that appears in drama, storytelling, myth, religious ritual, and psychological development. It describes the typical adventure of the archetype known as The Hero, the person who goes out and achieves great deeds on behalf of the group, tribe, or civilization.
Its stages are:
1. THE ORDINARY WORLD. The hero, uneasy, uncomfortable or unaware, is introduced sympathetically so the audience can identify with the situation or dilemma. The hero is shown against a background of environment, heredity, and personal history. Some kind of polarity in the hero’s life is pulling in different directions and causing stress.
2. THE CALL TO ADVENTURE. Something shakes up the situation, either from external pressures or from something rising up from deep within, so the hero must face the beginnings of change.
3. REFUSAL OF THE CALL. The hero feels the fear of the unknown and tries to turn away from the adventure, however briefly. Alternately, another character may express the uncertainty and danger ahead.
4. MEETING WITH THE MENTOR. The hero comes across a seasoned traveler of the worlds who gives him or her training, equipment, or advice that will help on the journey. Or the hero reaches within to a source of courage and wisdom.
5. CROSSING THE THRESHOLD. At the end of Act One, the hero commits to leaving the Ordinary World and entering a new region or condition with unfamiliar rules and values.
6. TESTS, ALLIES AND ENEMIES. The hero is tested and sorts out allegiances in the Special World.
7. APPROACH. The hero and newfound allies prepare for the major challenge in the Special world.
8. THE ORDEAL. Near the middle of the story, the hero enters a central space in the Special World and confronts death or faces his or her greatest fear. Out of the moment of death comes a new life.
9. THE REWARD. The hero takes possession of the treasure won by facing death. There may be celebration, but there is also danger of losing the treasure again.
10. THE ROAD BACK. About three-fourths of the way through the story, the hero is driven to complete the adventure, leaving the Special World to be sure the treasure is brought home. Often a chase scene signals the urgency and danger of the mission.
11. THE RESURRECTION. At the climax, the hero is severely tested once more on the threshold of home. He or she is purified by a last sacrifice, another moment of death and reb.
The Hero's Journey- Universal Archetypes- From Ancient to Modern Stories
The Hero's Journey- Universal Archetypes- From Ancient to Modern StoriesNorth Carolina Association for Middle Level Education
The document discusses the hero's journey, which is a universal archetype found in stories from ancient to modern times. It describes how every hero leaves their comfortable surroundings and ventures into an unfamiliar world facing challenges and antagonistic forces. The hero represents the search for identity and wholeness, battling internal forces just as storybook heroes do. Examples are given of how literature and films exemplify the hero's journey pattern, including The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and The Lord of the Rings. Joseph Campbell's summary of the typical steps of the hero's journey is also outlined.The Hero's Journey & the Unknown
The document discusses Joseph Campbell's concept of the "hero's journey" and how it relates to students from non-dominant groups entering STEM fields. It describes the hero's journey as having three stages - (1) the hero receives a call to adventure into an unknown world, (2) the hero crosses the first threshold and undergoes a series of tests with obstacles, and (3) the hero returns to share the knowledge gained. For students from non-dominant groups, entering a STEM classroom or makerspace can feel like the unknown world of the hero's journey, but providing mentors and tools can help reassure students as they embark on their academic adventure.
Character archetypes
This document discusses character archetypes and the hero archetype in particular. It describes the characteristics and journey of the hero, known as the "hero's quest", which involves crossing over into an unknown world, accepting a call to adventure, undergoing tests and trials, returning home with gifts or lessons learned, and transforming. It provides examples of other common archetypes like mentors, companions, and various male and female archetypes. The entire document serves to introduce and explain the concept of character archetypes.

All of us have similar experiences. We share in the life journey of growth, development, and
transformation. We live the same stories, whether they involve the search for a perfect mate, coming
home, the search for fulfillment, going after an ideal, achieving the dream, or hunting for a precious
treasure. Whatever our culture, there are universal stories that form the basis for all our particular
stories. The trappings might be different, the twists and turns that create suspense might change
from culture to culture, the particular characters may take different forms, but underneath it all, it's
the same story, drawn from the same experiences.
Many of the most successful films are based on these universal stories. They deal with the
basic journey we take in life. We identify with the heroes because we were once heroic (descriptive)
or because we wish we could do what the hero does (prescriptive). When James Bond saves the
world, we identify with the character, and subconsciously recognize the story as having some
connection with our own lives. It’s the same story as the fairy tales about getting the three golden
hairs from the devil, or finding the treasure and winning the princess. And it’s not all that different a
story from the caveman killing the woolly beast or the Roman slave gaining his freedom through skill
and courage. These are our stories – personally and collectively – and the most successful films
contain these universal experiences.
Some of these stories are “search” stories. They address our desire to find some kind of rare
and wonderful treasure. This might include the search for outer values such as job, relationship, or
success; or for inner values such as respect, security, self-expression, love, or home. But it’s all a
similar search.
Some of these stories are “hero” stories. They come from our own experiences of overcoming
adversity, as well as our desire to do great and special acts. We root for the hero and celebrate when
he or she achieves the goal because we know that the hero's journey is in many ways similar to our
own.
We call these stories myths. Myths are the common stories at the root of our universal
existence. They’re found in all cultures and in all literature, ranging from the Greek myths to fairy
tales, legends, and stories drawn from all of the world's religions.
A myth is a story that is “more than true.” Many stories are true because one person,
somewhere, at some time, lived it. It is based on fact. But a myth is more than true because it is lived
by all of us, at some level. It's a story that connects and speaks to us all.
Some myths are true stories that attain myth ...
