Abstract:
The mythological method for telling stories has been around for as long as humans have been.
It’s in our nature to share stories one with another. The Hero’s Journey is a basic structure
that has served mankind as a means to effectively tell stories and share legends. Filmmakers
have successfully implemented the Hero’s Journey as a framework for Hollywood’s successful
films of both the past and the present.
