The Hero's Journey - Using Shrek as an Example

2. The journey of the hero is known between the unknown and the unknown The "ordinary" person calls the adventure gatekeeper / the limit of the trial.

3. "Custom" people ... "When I am a demon" When the story begins, Shrek lives in his own swamp, hopes to be alone, and generally does not like everyone, but he I am used to it. That's right. Then he entered his life

4. After a fairy tale that summons an adventure invaded his swamp, our hero visited Sir Farqud and got his "mission".

Gatekeeper - limit as "gatekeeper" - he tried to convince Shrek not to continue the mission. However, Shrek revealed that he has "level" - introduce readers to "inner pursuit".

The experiment Shrek and the way to his nephew began a mission. Shrek now has many challenges to overcome to overcome complete tasks, including intrinsic and external tasks.

Path to experiment - internal problem. But then he helped Shurek to understand his fears. This revelation helps Shrek continue and ultimately complete the hero's journey

The shooting of Shrek on the surface is a typical example of a hero's journey. The main character Shrek (Mike Myers is calling out) is a lonely demon living in a fairy tale world. And plant fear in the hearts of local farmers. When Farquaad ordered evacuation from their house, when his swamp flooded the refugee story creatures (dawn, fairy, etc), he looked for Sir Farquaad, a notorious Duloc fortress. In exchange for the restored wetlands agreed to rescue the princess between Falcaaard and Shrek. But on his journey Shrek became friends with his speaking nephew and realized that he needed to change his life to become really happy.

Shrek's efforts pay close attention to the structure of the protagonist's journey, because he left his swamp, started his adventure to save his wife, and returned to his old life with new developments. After saving Fiona, Shrek had no benefit in his body, but he grew emotionally with the knowledge he did not have. He can accept Fiona parents and they learned that they are actually gentle people despite their royal style. Shrek understands everything Fiona experienced with his parents and helps him strengthen his love. The hero's journey can follow the hero's physical steps and achievements, but it also helps the hero to overcome their old obstacles and gain new knowledge and confidence.

The process of the magnificent hero including Campbell's monomity and departure, enlightenment, and return will appear in Shrek's journey, making him a magnificent hero. When Shrek told Fiona to say "I love you," he has the freedom to live now, marriage is a celebration and a ceremony. Shrek conquered his inner and romantic challenge. Shrek absolutely follows the features of the magnificent hero. He is a demon, making him supernatural or special. He was asked to complete and complete it. He experienced trials and challenges to test his strength and intelligence. He went to an unnatural world and others were afraid to get in. Even if they are not godly, he will be helped by his companion. Shrek fights at a low point and returns to the correct position. These qualities help to prove that Shrek is truly a magnificent hero of Joseph Campbell's monomys defense.
