5. AN ARQUETYPE
A recurring pattern of character or situation found in
mythology, religion and stories from all cultures
Universal, the product of the collective unconscious
and Inherited from our ancestors
We don’t “invent” arquetypes; they are part of
our ancestral memory and they simply appear
In religion and our production of art
The archetypal hero is not out there in the world;
he/she is a deeply rooted part of us
8. THE MONOMYTH
An archetypal plot
An ancient story pattern found
In texts from hundreds of years
ago as well as in new Hollywood
blockbusters
An internal journey - the
transformation from ordinary
Into extraordinary
9. THE MONOMYTH
“lt will always be the one,
shape-shifting yet marvelously
constant story that we find,
together with a challenging
persistent suggestion of more
remaining to be experienced
that will ever be known or told.”
Joseph Campbell
The Hero with the Thousand Faces
10. THE MONOMYTH
HARRY POTTER AND THE
SOURCERER’S STONE
THE NARNIA CHRONICLES – THE LION,
THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
THE WIZARD OF OZ
