narrative theories: the heroes journey
In todays lesson we each presented a presentation on each narrative theory, I will be talking about "The Heroes Journey" in this weeks blog.
Every story has a beginning, middle and end. At the beginning you introduce your hero/heroine. You see what there lifestyle is, what their hobbies are etc. They then have to face the first hurdle which will be where the storyline begins. A lot of bad things will come with this first hurdle that the protagonist (hero/heroine) will have to resolve.
The second hurdle is refusal. This will make the audience aware that the character is stubborn and not so confident. Their fears take over their natural instincts.
When the protagonist "meets the mentor", their whole perspective changes. With helpful guidance from another person will be the crucial turning point in the storyline or plot.
When the protagonist crosses the threshold, the hero is now ready to take action whether it be physical or mental.
The protagonist will get more hurdles thrown at them and will will then come to the point in the story where they have met there allies and enemies.
At the climax, the hero/heroine will then get faced with the final challenge, the way it normally goes is that they will persevere, get defeated or will save the day.
