CREATE YOUR OWN MYTHOLOGY OR MONOMYTH

The Monomyth or Hero’s Journey is a popular formula used in many modern movies, like Star Wars, Lord of The Rings, and Harry Potter.

It outlines a series of trials, tribulations, and obstacles that a character must endure on their journey or quest.

The following articles outline The 17 Stages of the Monomyth.

There is also an important document attached to this email.

YOUR FINAL ASSIGNMENT

For your assignment, you will choose / create / imagine a character and run them through various stages of the monomyth.

You may use yourself as the lead character; i.e. you may use your real life as the monomyth, or make it up, creatively.

You may also make it based on a person in history, whether a family member OR a celebrity.

You may NOT use a movie or book or television show.

Basically, you are creating an outline for a movie or a book.

This should be approximately 7 to 8 pages and will require revision.

Use the attached handout as your guide. Erase my writing under the headline, keep the headline, and write your answers.

For example:

The Call To Adventure

Under each headline you will identify the moment the character goes through the stage.

Refusal of the Call

These moments do not have to be explained in-depth. It could be anywhere from a couple sentences to a paragraph.

Supernatural Aid

You can just summarize what happens during the stage OR you can write it in scene, with dialogue and movement, ectera.

Crossing of the First Threshold 

Think of it like this. The assignment is basically answering twenty questions. For example, just put “What is” in front of each stage. Like, “what is” the Call to Adventure, “what is” the Refusal of the Call, ect.

Belly of the Whale

This is easier than it may sound. And if you have questions, ask.

Road of Trials

This stage is a three part question. There will be three trials in your monomyth. 

Meeting with the Goddess

Hope all of this is clear. Just take your time and follow directions.

You will do fine.
