Characteristics of a Hero

/0 Comments/in /by

Directions:

Choose a heroic figure from a book, film, or comic/cartoon series with which you are familiar (such as Theseus, Oedipus, Calaf in Turandot, King Arthur, Siddhartha, Moses, Mohammed, a cowboy hero, or Frodo from The Lord of the Rings).

Alternatively, you may choose a person who is/was known for their humanitarian efforts, or who have led a movement (such as Mother Teresa or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.).

Initial Post: Write 1-2 paragraphs in which you introduce your chosen hero. Apply at least two of Campbell’s characteristics as you elaborate on that hero’s life.

Hero’s Journey Infographic

/0 Comments/in /by

Joseph Campbell’s theories on mythology and the Hero’s Journey connect mythology to our everyday lived realities. In this module, you learned that all myths follow the arc of the Hero’s Journey and that the Hero’s Journey is as influenced by real-life experiences as it is the inspiration for future human creation.

 

Instructions: Think of a time in your life in which you have participated in the path of the Hero’s Journey. You could have been any of the main characters—the hero or a figure supporting the hero.

 

Use a free online application (Canva, Piktochart, etc.) to create an infographic that includes an explanation of the following:

  • Each of the ten steps of the Hero’s Journey as it relates to your situation
  • Which role you play
  • What the call to adventure was
  • How the journey unfolded during each of the ten steps

 

Your infographic should be saved as a PDF document.
