one discussion and one assignment 2

1. It’s interesting to realize, as we have done in Dare to Dream, the hero’s journey can unfold in fiction, as well as non-fiction. From the essays we have read this week, (“The Blind Faith of the One-Eyed Matador” (p.1) and “Mourning Glory” (48), choose one hero in each and identify one aspect of the hero’s journey as explained by Campbell that is obvious in the story. Describe the importance of that stage to the overall point of the essay.

2. Reflecting back on last week’s film, Dare to Dream, consider the entire team as the hero of this story and trace the 12 stages of the hero’s journey, as explained in Joseph Campbell’s Hero With a Thousand Faces. Spend a at least a couple of sentences on each stage, making reference to the specifics of the film where that stage is exemplified Address all twelve stages. if you feel a stage is not presented in the story, present that insight. .

Materials:

The Hero With a Thousand Faces presents what Campbell calls the “monomyth,” which asserts that the commonalties among stories and cultures create essentially the same story, a myth of a hero’s journey. Campbell writes in other places that myth and tradition are important, even if you don’t cling to religious significance, as it connects people within cultures, across cultures, and throughout generations. The notes below explain the TWELVE STAGES of the hero’s journey as presented by Campbell.

As Campbell writes in The Power of Myth, “What human beings have in common is revealed in myths….[and myths] help you to put your mind in touch with this experience of being alive.”

This week, we will watch a film version of Homer’s The Odyssey, which reveals the fate of Odysseus. Although the adventures are ahead of him, we know he will arrive home. The story is, therefore, not about the destination but the journey- the tests, the failures, and triumphs. It is an excellent example of a hero who experiences the TWELVE STAGES OF THE HERO’S JOURNEY AS DESCRIBED BY CAMPBELL!
