    In the Motorcycle diaries, and specially, in these two quotes, “I now know, by an almost fatalistic conformity with the facts, that my destiny is to travel, or perhaps it’s better to say that traveling is our destiny, because Alberto feels the same. Still there are moments when I think with profound longing of those wonderful areas in our south. Perhaps one day, tired of circling the world, I’ll return to Argentina and settle in the Andean lakes, if not indefinitely then at least for a pause while I shift form one understanding of the world to another.” And “There we understood our vocation, our true vocation, was to move for eternity along the roads and seas of the world. Always curious, looking into everything that came before our eyes, sniffing out each corner but only ever faintly—not setting down roots in any land or staying long enough to see the

Most likely, ones favorite hero novel would follow the hero’s journey which is the cycle of the hero’s adventure involving different archetypes.

    Joseph Campbell’s theories about “The Hero’s Journey” can be seen in many pieces of literature including mythological and superhero stories, such as in the movie Spider Man (2002) and in the book Theseus by Plutarch. Spider Man, a well-known and loved modern hero, follows almost every step of the “hero’s journey” exactly how Campbell intended for them to. The Ancient Western hero, Theseus, is also another great hero that follows Campbell’s steps closely. Spider Man, Theseus, and Campbell’s steps share many similarities, such as the “Call to Adventure,” “Crossing the Threshold,” and the “Road of Trials.” Theseus and Spider Man, in my opinion, are two exemplary models of heroes that most accurately represent Joseph Campbell’s steps of “The Hero’s
