Description:
This week, we review the first part of Joseph Campbell’s epic ‘The Hero With A Thousand Faces' with a focus on the Hero’s Journey, the archetype that Campbell created which seeks to attach a single meaning to all myth, religion, and spiritual traditions through the ages.
This archetype has then be used for creative projects across film, literature and music.
Part 2 of the series will focus on the second half of ‘The Hero With A Thousand Faces' which deals with myth describing the birth and death of the universe. And in Part 3 we will look Homer’s Odyssey and the movie by Christopher Nolan and apply the Hero’s Journey to its plot and theme.
