The Patterns in Hero's Journeys in Literature and Film

Joseph Campbell is a highly respected mythologist and writer who believes that all adventure stories often confuse the same story. Everywhere this story begins with the hero of his daily life, and some people call the hero his magnificent journey.

They are only basic materials for building literature. No matter where you are, you can find it in the novels, movies, and the whole Bible. (Look at the Bible image dictionary edited by Leland Ryken and others for a search over 1,000 pages of Bible prototypes and patterns.
