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.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.
