  • Career

    The legacy of Joseph Campbell can be seen in nearly all forms of modern storytelling, from novels to comic books to motion pictures. His "Hero's Journey" motif, or "Monomyth" boils down all mythic and contemporary narrative to a series of common steps. Films such as Star Wars and The Lion King follow this formula very precisely.
  • The Monomyth

    1. The hero accepts or declines the Call To Adventure
    2. The hero either fails or overcomes a Road of Trials
    3. The hero achieves self-knowledge after achieving a goal
    4. The hero returns to the world from which he came, or fails to return
    5. The hero applies the self-knowledge to improve the world
