  • The Hero's Journey In The Odyssey By Martin Luther King Jr.

    1228 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Heroes Journey, identified by American scholar Joseph Campbell, is a pattern of narrative that describes the typical adventure of the main hero, whether that be a fiction or nonfiction hero. The first step is the Call to Adventure, where something shakes up the hero’s current situation and the hero starts experiencing change. Consequently, this theory is also applied to the fictional hero Odysseus in The Odyssey and the real-life hero Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights activist. In The Odyssey, Odysseus embarks on a 10-year voyage from Troy to Ithaca and encounters many monsters along the way including a gigantic Cyclops. Martin Luther King Jr. was a minister and a black-rights activist born on January 15, 1929, who led the civil rights movement during the 50s and 60s which included events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington. Both in fiction, such as The Odyssey, and real-life heroes such as Martin Luther King Jr. endure aspects of the Heroes Journey.

    We know of them to be older physically but not mature enough to have authority. However, for the characters whose age we cannot assume, we recognize their sense of authority as being adults. This means that their age is not necessarily defined and so we assume them to be adults through the way they carry themselves. Nevertheless, these characters are all considered adults, so Carroll depicts them as closed minded and unintellectual, the reasoning behind their condescending tone to Alice.

He just said it was the crocodile to make him look more fierce to his shipmates. And the biggest secret of all, The Lost Boys. I told James Barrie that the boys fell out of their prams when the nurse wasn’t looking. That is a complete and utter lie. Peter and I stole them.
