One well-known example of “The Hero’s Journey” from popular culture is the Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, by J.K. Rowling. In the novel, Harry Potter, the main character, is the chosen one and “The Hero’s Journey” applies to his life from the moment he is attacked by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named as a baby. Joseph Campbell calls the initial phase of a hero’s development the “Call to Adventure.” The call is the in... ...
Watching a film, one can easily recognize plot, theme, characterization, etc., but not many realize what basic principle lies behind nearly every story conceived: the hero’s journey. This concept allows for a comprehensive, logical flow throughout a movie. Once the hero’s journey is thoroughly understood, anyone can pick out the elements in nearly every piece. The hero’s journey follows a simple outline. First the hero in question must have a disadvantaged childhood. Next the hero will find a mentor who wisely lays out his/her prophecy. Third the hero will go on a journey, either literal or figurative, to find him/herself. On this journey the hero will be discouraged and nearly quit his/her quest. Finally, the hero will fulfill the prophecy and find his/herself, realizing his/her full potential. This rubric may be easy to spot in epic action films, but if upon close inspection is found in a wide array of genres, some of which are fully surprising.
The human need to be relatable is unquenchable. We love to be able to see parts of ourselves in others, and to be able to feel like our idols are not untouchable. The Hero’s Journey format is one that can be found in almost any story, even in real life. Overall, it is the perfect recipe for keeping readers engrossed. Another place the journey has shown up is in Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and Odyssey by Homer. These two stories—one a biography, the other, an epic poem—are so effective in their storytelling, it is easy to see how authors today continue to use the same method to make stories that grab the readers’ attention. What makes them most alike, however, is the emotions and thoughts they have the power to provoke.
To fully appreciate the significance of the plot one must fully understand the heroic journey. Joseph Campbell identified the stages of the heroic journey and explains how the movie adheres meticulously to these steps. For example, the first stage of the hero’s journey is the ordinary world (Campbell). At the beginning, the structure dictates that the author should portray the protagonist in their ordinary world, surrounded by ordinary things and doing ordinary tasks so that the author might introduce the reasons that the hero needs the journey in order to develop his or her character or improve his or her life (Vogler 35). The point of this portrayal is to show the audience what the protagonist’s life is currently like and to show what areas of his or her life are conflicted or incomplete. When the call to adventure occurs, the protagonist is swept away into another world, one that is full of adventure, danger, and opportunities to learn what needs to be learned. T...
The hero’s journey can be seen as a set of laws or challenges that every hero faces through their own journey(Christopher Vogler). The hero’s journey is used as a general term such as all

The archetypal hero’s journey is the progress of a protagonist throughout a certain story. The journey shows the advancement of a certain character from where they started to where they end up, glorifying their actions. The archetypal hero’s journey fits into what the people will expect to happen. The people who only heard by word of mouth only got to hear and imagine what would happen. However, today, we can analyze passages and detect a pattern of the literary structure. In “Diamonds and Toads”, there is a pattern shown, and that pattern is the archetypal hero’s journey. In the ordinary world, there is one big happy family: a mother, a father, and two daughters. Then, unknowingly, the youngest daughter’s call to adventure as a hero begins when her father passes away and her mother and sister turn their back on her. Though she may not be able to refuse the call, she deals with it to the best of her ability. The girl happens to have the meeting with the mentor when she meets the elderly woman at the well. After the child is beaten when her sister is cursed, she crosses the threshold and leaves the ordinary world to go and is now an enemy of her family. Even though there is no fear of losing her life, she is disowned by her family. Because of her family disowning her, she happens to meet her prince and this is her reward for running away as she chooses to live her new life. The journey shows that all bad
The hero’s journey is a common template used in many stories, from ancient Greek mythology to the movies of today. The hero usually has some sort of call to adventure and with some supernatural aid, he is able to return home transformed. This can be seen in the movie Moana, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Pride and Prejudice.
The hero’s journey is a narrative pattern created by Jospeh Campbell. The hero’s journey can appear in drama, storytelling, myth, religious rituals, and even psychological development. It outlines the typical adventure of “The Hero” this person goes out and achieves great deeds on behalf of civilization. The hero’s journey will start with the hero living in their ordinary world and will go all the way through their return from their mission. The Silence of the Lambs has a perfect plot that goes along with the criteria of the heroes journey.
The hero's journey is a very simple process that can fit in with almost any story. The book that I have chosen to analyze is Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone which is written by J.K Rowling. After analyzing the book I have seen that it does in fact follow the hero's journey.
A hero’s journey can be used as a pattern to develop a story in most genres. The monomyth is like a basic guideline for story plots. Through different genres different aspects of the monomyth comes into play. Even in real life one can attribute certain aspects to parts through the Hero’s Journey. We can see this monomyth followed closely in the Hobbit trilogy. Through a storyline the vital step is regarding the protagonist and his/her first step towards the storyline, or in this case the call to adventure. For example, from an adventure movie background where the protagonist is out on a quest to a romance where the protagonist meets his loved one for the first time. If we take a look at each of stages separately they all fit
The embarkation of the hero’s journey is more than a call, it is taking control of your life and discovering the hero who dwells inside you. Each hero who enters the journey is tested to the very end of the cycle, where the hero must choose rebirth or death. Othello is man of many fortunes, but he does not have what it takes to complete the Hero’s Journey.

These timeless tales relate a message that readers throughout the ages can understand and relate to. While each of these tales is not exactly alike, they do share a common core of events. Some event and or character flaw necessitates a journey of some kind, whether it is an actual physical journey or a metaphorical one. The hardships and obstacles encountered on said journey lead to spiritual growth and build character. Rarely does a person find himself unchanged once the journey is over.
Myths have been a great example of the hero’s journey. Many heroes have journeys and trials to face throughout their life. Most of their journeys start out with their origin and end with the return. However, the hero’s role remains identical to every other hero. Most heroes like Gilgamesh has heroic traits because of the stages in the hero's journey. Gilgamesh is a man who can turn into a hero by changing himself, even when he has unusual circumstances surrounding his birth. Gilgamesh is viewed as a hero due to the stages of the hero's journey.
