	Monomyth - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The monomyth (often referred to as the Hero's Journey) is a cyclical journey found in myths suggested by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) [1].
		Campbell's account of the monomyth explains its ubiquity through a mixture of Jungian archetypes, unconscious forces of mind from the Freudian conception, and Arnold van Gennep's structuring of rites of passage rituals.
		Since the late 1960s, with the introduction of Post-structuralism, theories such as the monomyth (which are dependent upon approaches based in Structuralism) have lost ground in the academy.

		This Monomyth can provide the individual with the meaning and purpose in life that he or she lacks, by assisting him and guiding him or her in his or her search for individual identity.
		The Hero's journey according to the Monomyth, actually indulges his infantile desire for the Mother, and her mastery, as symbolized by his union with the Mother Goddess and the appropriation of the Father's role.
		The Monomyth seems to be very similar to Formative teleologyƒ, where a mature form is implied at the beginning and the final state can be known in advance.

	Jungian and Campbellian monomyth - Topic Powered by eve community
		I think of it more as a Campbellian Monomyth (based on the writings of Joseph Campbell, purveyor of Myths) since that's more the path that I studied, but of course that's based on Jung's theories which are based on Freud's.
		The Campbellian monomyth is based in the Jungian notion of the collective unconscious which, in a nutshell, claims that every culture's myths spring from dreams of said culture and that since all humans share a similar brain (biologically) then we all share similar forms in or unconscious (the collective).
		Such forms include the anima (the goddesses do not equal Shadow's dead wife, rather they are all manifestations of the ego-consciousness's (Shadow's) anima, that is, his repressed qualities--such as living a full life, which is really the whole point of the story) and the mentor or father-figure (Wednesday) and the nemesis, or anti-father, Loki.

	Four-Colour Commentary: And they don't even credit Moore for the title...
		The monomyth itself is supposedly so widely spread that we can apply it to any vaguely adventure-like story, in any culture, geographically or historically.
		American monomythic heroes rise �from the masses into the light of individual success [and become] the beacon for others to follow� (159).
		The most interesting aspect of the monomyth, though, is the implied conceptual work that has to have been done in order to arrive at it as a concept.

		In actual fact, all three films are a self-contained Monomyth, each concluding in a final ascention to a higher plane of existence until the final film where ultimate enlightenment is gained by the Hero.
		Furthermore, the Monomyth can actually be applied to the trilogy as a whole with the first movie representing the 'Departure', the second movie representing 'Initiation', and the final movie representing 'Return'.
		Whilst writing an individual Monomyth parallel for each movie was an option, the decision taken was to simply stick with this overall interpretation - at least for the time being.

		I keep it around and pull it out every now and then in the hopes that the text will magically have become clear and concise, and that I'll have the time and patience to wade through it.
		That's what spells look like when you're not a wizard of sufficient level to decipher the magic script: not weird alien letters, but endless pages of gibberish that border on the edge of comprehensibility.
		It's supposed to be a tool to help you create original and unique fantasy worlds but has enough built-in assumptions about what a constitutes "fantasy" to make options fairly limited.
