HERO’S JOURNEY
THE “MONOMYTH” VIEW OF HERO STORIES AS
SUGGESTED BY JOSEPH CAMPBELL
Joseph Campbell1904 - 1987 Joseph Campbell was a prolific
American author and editor whose works on comparative mythology examined the universal functions of mythology in various human cultures and examined the mythic figure in a wide range of literatures.
Joseph Campbell – cont.Campbell wrote a number
of books on his theories including the very insightful book entitled The Hero With a Thousand Faces.
His theories, along with those of other researchers of mythology, are sometimes referred to as “monomyth,” which translates to “one myth.”
Joseph Campbell – cont.Campbell realized in the course
of his education that Arthurian legends resembled some basic motifs in American Indian folklore.
Believing that many of the world’s myths have common elements and themes, Campbell began studying the “archetypes” of many world myths.
The Hero’s JourneyOne of Campbell’s major
contributions to mythology was a view of certain types of myths which is often referred to as “The Hero’s Journey.”
In the Hero’s Journey, various characters go through a process of becoming (or not becoming) a hero. The stories are different, but the PROCESS is mostly the same.
DO ANY OF THESE LOOK FAMILIAR?
Unusual BirthThe hero is often the product of an unusual birth, such as a virgin birth. It is also possible that the hero’s parents are unusual, for instance, royalty or immortal,
that the hero is an orphanOr, that his origins are obscure: no one knows where he came from.
The Hero: As a CharacterHe is neither invincible nor a fool.Usually underestimatedHis way is not always clear to him In fact, his way is often filled with
danger, loneliness, temptationHe/she always suffers a wound.Always needs help from…
Helpers and Mentors Hero’s frequently have a merry-band of
followers: friends or servants who are sometimes his greatest source of comfort and support
Hero’s frequently receive mentoring early in the journey—sometimes welcomed, sometimes not
Mentors and Helpers are typically the sources of the aid the hero needs to complete and sometimes even start the journey:magic, charms, vital information or a magic weapon.
The Call to AdventureThe call to adventure is the point in a person's life when he/she is first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.
The Call initiates the hero into the adventure1. a realization of imbalance/injustice2. something lacking in life- a search for
what's missing 3. something not permitted to members
of his society * goes to win those rights (honor)
Refusal of the CallOften when the call is given, the future hero refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances.
Supernatural AidOnce the hero has committed to the quest, consciously or unconsciously, his or her guide and magical helper appears, or becomes known to provide tools, weapons, information, magic, etc.
The Journey - Departure
The Crossing of the First ThresholdThis is the point where the person actually crosses into the field of adventure, leaving the known limits of his or her world and venturing into an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are not known.
