The Hero’s Journey
You have read the information on the 12-step version of \\”The Hero\\\’s Journey\\” and how it provides a structure for many epic stories. Choose eitherPerseus (whom you\\\’ve studied) or Odysseus (whom you\\\’ve studied very recently) and write an essay showing how that hero\\\’s story matches the 12-step structure. You can use the \\”three worlds\\” as the basis for your three body paragraphs, and you should show as many matches to the classic 12 steps as possible.
Note: no story matches the 12 steps perfectly (unless it has been designed intentionally to fit — like Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back or the Harry Potter series) — for instance, unless I\\\’m missing something, I don\\\’t see how Perseus shrinks from his first call to duty and then goes through a \\”second call\\” — he\\\’s told to get Medusa\\\’s head and so off he goes; that particular step is missing. When you are writing your essay, acknowledge the steps that don\\\’t fit or are missing; there will be inconsistencies. However, in many ways the \\”12 steps\\” will apply, and it is very interesting to examine them.
Your essay should total approximately 750 words.
