What we did in class:
We talked about Carl Jung and his concept of archetypes.
We discussed the hero's journey.
The Hero's Journey is a concept contrived by the late mythologist Joseph Campbell. Some times the hero's journey is also referred to as the monomyth. According to Campbell this is the epic story of all great hero's. They all follow the same basic pattern.
The Hero's Journey
We received a handout explaining the hero's journey.
The class divided up into small groups and then each group chose a familiar story or legend and discussed with each other how the story followed the hero's journey.
