    The Heros Journey (monomyth) 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.

    The Heros Journey Includes 12


    Stages
    1. The Ordinary
    World
    2. The Call to
    Adventure
    3. Refusal of the Call
    4. Meeting with the
    Mentor
    5. Crossing the
    Threshold
    6. Tests, Allies, and
    Enemies

    7. Approach
    8. The Ordeal
    9. The Reward
    10. The Road Back
    11. The Resurrection
    12. Return with the
    Elixir

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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 heros life is pulling in
    different directions and causing stress.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    6.TESTS, ALLIES AND ENEMIES.
    The hero is tested and sorts out
    allegiances in the Special World.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    7.APPROACH.
    The hero and newfound allies
    prepare for the major challenge in
    the Special world.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    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 rebirth, but
    on a higher and more complete level. By
    the heros action, the polarities that were
    in conflict at the beginning are finally
    resolved.

    Stages of the Heros Journey


    12. RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR.
    The hero returns home or continues
    the journey, bearing some element of
    the treasure that has the power to
    transform the world as the hero has
    been transformed

    What is an Archetype?
    Archetypes are recurring patterns of human
    behavior, symbolized by standard types of
    characters in movies and stories.
    Common archetypes include heroes,
    shadows, mentors, tricksters, and allies.
    Archetypes are universal, and are said to tap
    into to a collective unconscious of the
    human race.

    Application:
    How does The Lion King represent The
    Heros Journey?
    Can you think of other
    Disney films that follow
    this pattern?
