    The Hero’s Journey Joseph Campbell has come up with this idea that there is one three-stage formula- in which he calls the “Hero’s Journey”.

Most houses have four walls and a roof, they all look slightly different on the outside, but they mostly share this basic structure. Campbell says that although most stories are different on the outside, stories are almost always structured around these three stages. The first stage is when the hero leaves their everyday world and enters into another world, the second stage talks about when the hero is challenged by opposing forces, a series of test they must pass, and whether or not a victory is won.

    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 described as “…a brute so huge, he seemed no man at all…” (9 89-90).
