Joseph Campbell & The Hero’s Journey

In 1949, scholar  joseph campbell published his 1st book, the hero with a thousand faces. in this book, campbell introduced us to his theory that myths from around the globe share a fundamental structure, the monomyth ..

C ampbell formulated this theory over 5 years, spending 9 hours a day reading mythology from around the world. The Monomyth structure is divided into 3 events with additional stages in between. The stories of Osiris, Prometheus, Buddha, Moses, Jesus, and many other tales from history use this structure. It has inspired many artists and storytellers, such as, Jim Morrison of The Doors, Bob Dylan, creator of Star Wars George Lucas, Bob Weir, and Jerry Garcia of the band, The Grateful Dead. While countless stories follow this Monomyth structure, we will use the original Star Wars Trilogy as an example for exploring this process.

The Seventeen Stages of the Monomyth

The Seventeen Stages of the Monomyth

The Cycle of Mythology

Stage 1: Separation

I n the first stage of the hero’s journey, we find our protangonist living life in a typically mundane situation. The  Star Wars , Luke Skywalker lives as a talented yet lowly and pretty damn whiny moisture farmer on Tatooine.

Until…

1. Call to Adventure – By some chance the hero will become aware of information or actions that call for them to go on a quest. The lovable and recently acquired droid R2-D2 plays a holographic message of Princess Leia pleading for Luke’s soon to be mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s assistance.

2. Refusal of the Call – Overwhelmed by the information, the hero refuses the call and makes excuses as to why they cannot answer it. Luke refuses Obi-Wan’s request to join him on his mission, stating that he has responsibilities at home.

Luke's Supernatural Aid is in the form of a Lightsaber

Luke’s Supernatural Aid is in the form of a Lightsaber and newfound Knowledge of the Force

3. Supernatural Aid – Once a commitment to the quest is made by the hero, they are provided with a special weapon or power that will assist them along the way. Obi-Wan gifts Luke his fathers lightsaber and explains some Force 101.

4. Crossing the Threshold – The moment when the hero actually embarks upon the journey. After Luke discovers that his family has been murdered and that nothing is left for him at home, he decides to join Obi-Wan on the quest to save Princess Leia, cause that sounds way cooler than hanging at the farm where your entire family was just massacred.

5. Belly of the Whale – The final separation between the hero and their home. Luke and Kenobi bail out from Tatooine with their new bros Han Solo and Chewbacca.

Stage 2: Initiation

The Empire Strikes Back is nothing but a road of trials for our hero, Luke

The Empire Strikes Back is nothing but a road of trials for our hero, Luke.

6. The Road of Trials – A series of usually 3 trials and tests, the hero often fails one or more of these test. In Luke’s journey the destruction of the Death Star is his first test and one that he passes. His second and third tests do not end so well. While training with Yoda on Dagobah, Luke fails in his truly mastering himself and the force. Thirdly, in the duel between himself and his newly revealed father, Darth Vader, he is defeated, injured, and almost killed.

7. The Meeting with the Goddess – Our hero experiences a love that has the power and significance to that of a mother. Luke begins to have strong feelings for Leia, his unbeknownst sister.

8. Woman as Temptress – The temptation to abandon the journey for material or other gain. Luke is close to being seduced to the dark side as the Emperor feeds his rage against his father and especially with the prospect that if he will not turn, perhaps his sister will.

9. Atonement with the Father – In this stage, the hero must confront and be initiated by whoever holds the ultimate power in their life. Luke battles Darth Vader and once again is on the losing side of the fight. Nearing death from the Emperor’s attacks, Luke begs his father to help save him from certain death.

Star-Wars-Trivia-Original-Ending-Luke-Dark-Side

Anakin & Luke Meet for the 1st Time

10. Apotheosis – The spiritual death and rebirth of the hero. Darth Vader hears his son’s cries for help and returns to the light, deciding to destroy the Emperor in a self sacrificial action. By bringing his father back to the light, Luke has finally become a true jedi.

11. The Ultimate Boon – The stage of achievement of the goal. Luke is a jedi, has defeated the Empire, the dark side, saved his father, and all his friends and family are safe.

12. Refusal of the Return – The hero basking in their newly found bliss, may not want to return to their previous life and share this bliss with his fellow man. Luke does the opposite of this, upon his reunification with his friends, he shares with Leia that they are siblings. He then goes on to train her and new jedi in the ways of the force.

Stage 3: Return

13. The Magic Flight – The daring escape made after obtaining the boon. Luke carries his fathers body onto a transport and flees the Death Star before its complete destruction.

The Return

The Millennium Falcon in Magical Flight

14. Rescue from Without – When powerful guides or mentors help bring the hero back to normal life. When Anniken, Obi-Wan, and Yoda appear from the ether to acknowledge Luke and his newfound jedi knighthood.

15. Crossing the Return Threshold – Retaining, integrating, and sharing wisdom learned on the quest. Luke shares his knowledge of the force with future jedi.

16. Master of Two Worlds – The hero has achieved a balance between the material and spiritual world. Luke has sorted all of his family issues, become a man and a jedi.

17. Freedom to Live – By becoming a master of the two worlds, the hero is free from regrets of the past and worries of the future, this leaves them to live in the moment. Luke has resolved all the  conflicts in his life, he is free to live at one with the force.

Each of Us are the Heroes in Our own Journey

The Monomyth is a method of story telling that is innate to humans. Cultures from around the world share it’s structure in their stories. Every human, whether they are aware of it or not, is on their own hero’s journey. By studying Joseph Campbell’s work we can better our own understanding of the tests, trials, and progress along our journey.

Teaching Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey

Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey

Joseph Campbell, an American mythological researcher, wrote a famous book entitled  The Hero with a Thousand Faces .  In his lifelong research Campbell discovered many common patterns running through hero myths and stories from around the world.  Years of research lead Campbell to discover several basic stages that almost every hero-quest goes through (no matter what culture the myth is a part of).  He calls this common structure “the monomyth.” It is commonly referred to as "The Hero's Journey."

George Lucas, the creator of  Star Wars , claims that Campbell’s monomyth was the inspiration for his groundbreaking films.  Lucas also believes that Star Wars is such a popular saga because it taps into a timeless story-structure which has existed for thousands of years.

The Hero's Journey is a great technique for analyzing all kinds of stories--whether they be myths, legends, films, novels, short stories, plays, or even comic books.  Educating students about the Hero's Journey encourages them to think about plot structure, character motivation, and theme. It also leads them to consider what qualities they associate with heroes. Are heroes born or are they made? Are there heroes in real-life or must they be larger-than-life? Who are the heroes in our society. Listed below are some resources that I have found successful in my own classroom for teaching the Hero's Journey:

THE HERO'S JOURNEY (PDF)    This worksheet gives an overview of the Hero's Journey, as outlined by Joseph Campbell and others.  Each step is listed, along with examples from film and literature.

SAMPLE HERO'S JOURNEY UNIT (PDF) This outline provides a suggested unit using this site's resources.

WHY YOUNG PEOPLE NEED HERO STORIES NOW MORE THAN EVER (ARTICLE)  This article explains the numerous real-life applications of the Hero's Journey, a message of hope that young people need to hear! 

DETAILED PRESENTATION ON THE STAGES OF THE HERO'S JOURNEY WITH LIFE-APPLICATION (SALE ITEM)   This in-depth presentation covers the stages of the Hero's Journey, using visual examples from   Star Wars   and   The Lion King.  Each stage also has a "My Journey" section that gives each stage a real-life application. Also comes with a note-taking sheet with student use.

DESIGN-A-QUEST: CREATIVE GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS FOR MAKING YOUR OWN HERO'S JOURNEY (SALE ITEM)  Want to give your students some practice writing their own Hero's Journey? This set of graphic organizers is perfect for young writers who want to invent some heroes of their own. Using your choice of written-response only or a creative, comic-book-style combination of artwork and written responses, these graphic organizers allow students to create their own hero story. This item also includes a sample Hero's Journey using Disney's  Aladdin  as an example.

Call to action ; Heroine’s journey ; Monomyth

The hero’s journey concept was developed by Joseph Campbell (Campbell 1949 /2008) in his classic work The Hero with a Thousand Faces . According to this idea, all legends, stories, and myths follow the same core narrative, called the monomyth, which consists of three stages: departure, initiation, and return.

Heroes are people who put themselves at risk for the welfare of others. Heroism can be distinguished from helping behavior based on the degree of benefit to the target and cost or potential cost to the helper. Heroism is associated with high cost to the helper and high benefit to the recipient. Helping behavior is more generally thought of as actions that provide a benefit to a target but that operates at a lower level of intensity and does not occur in a state of high stress or an emergency.

It is possible to distinguish among martial, civil, and social heroism (Franco et al. 2011 ). Martial and civil heroism involve...

Reconfiguring the Hero's Journey

Profile image of Houman Sadri

2020, Reconfiguring the Hero's Journey

Thesis introductory chapter. This thesis examines key stages of the Hero’s Journey, or Monomyth, as set out by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) and finds that the pattern retains its pertinence and relevance in contemporary texts and media. This is accomplished through a close reading of selected contemporary texts which engage with the pattern. In doing this, the project appraises the ways in which the pattern and the chosen texts inform each other, as well as examining its continued usefulness as a critical tool, the better to shed new light on the Monomyth itself. The thesis is structured in the same way as the Hero’s Journey itself, beginning with the "Call to Adventure" and ending with the "Master of the Two Worlds." These close examinations, each presented in a stand-alone article, serve as arguments for the pattern’s continued validity as a tool for understanding story. The narratives with which it engages represent a number of different genres and media, including Young Adult literature, action cinema, superhero comics and autobiographical graphic novels. Through these readings it is shown that the Monomyth still informs, and is informed by, these texts. These readings work toward a new way of looking at the pattern: as a representation of the liminal space between the two established modes of existence of a story’s protagonist. Representing all that happens between the time the hero leaves the mundane world in which he has lived, and the time he returns to it transformed, the Hero’s Journey is found to represent a productive liminality that allows the hero to transition from one stage of life to the next. Revisiting the pattern using contemporary texts and media helps to bring to light its continued usefulness as a critical framework from which to assess the heroic narratives of today.

As someone who enjoys anthropology, history and art, I sometimes imagine the early ancestors of humankind, sitting around a campfire telling stories about the hunting exploits of one of their relatives, or the elaborate retelling of one of their own adventures. It is a deeply ingrained need of the human race to seek out someone or something that can inspire them, that can give them hope. As a result, across most cultures, we find examples of the monomyth, the common mythical story of the hero or heroine that is defined as " …characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self-sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good of all humanity. " The Hero's Quest, their journey fraught with challenges, dangers, traps and ultimate triumph, leads to spiritual and psychological growth, and the successful return of the hero or heroine. It is a lesson and a story that needs retelling to each generation. The Ancient Greeks, with their innumerable myths and epic poems set the model for how best to retell the hero's story using the communication tools of their time: the bard, the poem and the song. The bards would travel from village to village and from one great hall to the next, and enjoy hospitality while they shared their accumulated tales and composed new poems and songs that would memorialize the local deeds of their hosts – they were a form of roving news magazine spreading current events and the hero's story. Today, with the density of our cities and the advances in the means of communication, information moves at the speed of light, stories from near and far comingles and competes for our limited attention span. For the mainstream media (television, radio, newspapers) news events are disseminated, consumed and supplanted by other breaking news events in a cycle that is accelerating to the point of fusing it all together into background noise that makes it difficult to find the hero's story.

Joseph Campbell is the mythographer of the last century who has congenially opened the mythological universe to both scholars and to a wide range of people searching for pathways to enlighten their lives. His elixir of life was to help people “see myth as a reflection of the one sublime adventure of life, and then to breathe new life into it” (Campbell, 2003, p. xiv). The hero’s journey is his gift, his “ultimate boon” (Campbell, 2008, p. 29) for the human condition and social world. It represents a universal motif which runs through virtually all kinds of change, transformation, and growth. The main objective of this special issue of the Journal of Genius and Eminence is to explore the multi-faceted potential of the hero’s journey and perhaps shed new light on it. The introduction gives an overview of Campbell’s ultimate boon and a summary of each of the 12 articles that follow. Distinguished scientists and outstanding practitioners have joined this journey in tribute to Campbell and the 30th anniversary of his death. The contributors take us far and wide, exploring different ways to explore Campbell’s thoughts, allowing insights into the nuances and subtleties of his mythological world, and striking new ways to illuminate the Campbellian universe.

The ancient creative practice of narrative is recognized as an important meaning making activity in business, in the contexts of both academic study and commercial practice. Drawing on these developments, this chapter will focus on the creative potential, within business, for narrative models developed in the field of screenwriting. The latter is an area of creative writing that focuses particularly on story structure. It has produced a range of normative narrative models that recur as the underpinning templates of film and television narratives. The most well known of these is perhaps Christopher Vogler’s reworking of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. Taking this text as my starting point, this chapter discusses the particular implications of the use of the Hero’s journey narrative model in a business context, examining the power of narrative retelling and the meaning making possibilities and limitations of different narrative models.

In this paper I've explored some works of contemporary fantasy fiction through the lens of Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The fantasy genre's formulaic similarity with ancient mythology illustrates the genre's importance to the collective imagination, and the universal need for a sense of enchantment in the modern world.

From antiquity to the present time, “from Achilles to Zidane” (so the title of a recent exhibition; Faliu/Tourett),1 heroes have represented key elements of the cultural imaginary and the symbolic knowledge system of communities with remarkable persistence. The heroic plays a role in the understanding of cultural systems of meaning both in their longue durée and in their specific historical, social, and cultural manifestations and conditions. Recently, it has often been claimed that, after the disastrous two world wars, a ‘post-heroic’ age has begun, especially in Western European societies, and most prominently in Germany.2 In current discussions, scepticism towards and even a rejection of heroism predominate (Bohrer et al.); at the same time, the need for heroic leaders seems to persist, sometimes emerges anew, and is often taken for granted.3 But how can we explain these concurrent positions? “Whenever ‘heroes’ are admired, the question arises of ‘who is this needed by, and why’”...

Chapter summarizing the various major theories connected to the theme of the Hero's Journey (or Heroic Narrative Pattern, Monomyth etc.), presenting the models and explanations for the emergence of the narrative pattern. Beside the most famous authors - Rank, Raglan, Campbell, Propp - the chapter adds three more sections, one on the work of Jean Joseph Goux, one on the topic of the female heroine (which is sadly missing in all the older authors) and one on the topic of initiation structure.
