...psychologist, had. He recognized a pattern called the hero's journey. Carl was the first to introduce archetypes to the world of literature. Joseph Campbell further expanded Jung's idea in his book A Hero With a Thousand Faces and renamed it the monomyth. The monomyth theory is consisting of various stages such the departure, initiation, transformation, and the hero's return. The monomyth is divided into four main stages. The introductory stage is known as the hero's departure. The heroes will first appeared as an outcast or an insignificant character who have a trite and ordinary life. They will then be exposed to a conflict or the call of adventure. This capricious change often resulted in the heroes' rejection to the call. Regardless to their initial answer, a predicament will disrupt the heroes' tranquil life and makes them more incline to accept the task. Hence the heroes bid their farewell and commence their journey. For example, Neo from the Matrix appeared to be a trivial character in his ordinary world. The setting was the Matrix, an illusory world inside people's head. Then came the call of adventure, Neo received bizarre call informing him to escape as the Matrix came to...

...Meranda West Essay #1 Creation/The Hero’s Journey Neo’s Journey into his Real Life The Matrix shows Neo as he travels through a journey into the unseen and unknown to learn the truth about the life he has been living. Neo, otherwise known as Thomas Anderson, goes through an intense journey with the help of his mentor Morpheus. Thomas Anderson, Neo, works for a high end company in the day but at night he is a talented computer hacker and doing his side job of selling secret computer programs. One night as he is asleep at his desk, a message pops up one his computer that reads “The Matrix has you…”. It goes further in telling him to follow the little white bunny. As some people come through to buy something from Neo, he is asked to join them for a night out on the town. At first he denies the invitation, but then he sees a little white rabbit tattoo on the back of one of their shoulders and soon accepts. The nightclub that he goes to with them is where Neo meets Trinity. Trinity acts as a herald to Neo in The Matrix because she is the one that takes him to meet Morpheus. She, in a sense, called him to the call of adventure by messaging him online and having him come to the nightclub. When Neo is taken to meet Morpheus, he is given a choice between taking a red pill and a blue pill. He chooses the pill that will “show him how deep the rabbit hole goes” and at this point, this is where the creation myth of the matrix comes into play. Morpheus explains to Neo that the...

...Hero's Journey Analysis of Matrix: Name: Dominick Robinson Date:5/15/2000 For Thomas A. Anderson, his ordinary world is ironically, a computer-simulated world, known as The Matrix. The real world is only a fake but the adventure world is real. By day, Thomas Anderson works as a computer programmer for a software company called Metacortex. By night, he is a computer hacker for hire known as Neo. In the simulated world, Thomas seems very bored and he doesn't care much about his job. He is always late for work and almost risks losing his job. The only thing that seems to be on his mind is his search for the truth. The answer of the question: "What is the matrix?" Ironically, when Thomas is in the unreal, simulated world, he uses mostly his real name, Thomas Anderson. Only as a hacker is he known as Neo. When he exits the matrix and enters the real world, he is known as Neo. There are more than one calls to the quest in this film. There is a minor call and a major call. The minor call would be when Neo receives a message on his computer stating: "Matrix has you follow the white rabbit". Later, when some customers Neo has worked for come to pick up hacked goods, he is invited to join them. At first, he is reluctant but when he sees a white rabbit on one of them, he decides to go. When he gets the bar where they were headed, he meets with Trinity, a woman who later becomes an ally. She warns him that "they" are watching him. She tells him that there is a man who has the answer to...

...heroes such as Heracles, Perseus, and Achilles played an important role in Ancient Greek religion. Politicians, ancient and modern, have employed hero worship for their own apotheosis (i.e., cult of personality). Stories of the antihero also play a major role in Greek mythology and much of literature. The antihero is a protagonist who lacks the typical characteristics of heroism, such as honor, nobility, bravery, compassion, and fortitude. The favorite type of antihero is an individual who lacks moral character.[2] The concept of a story archetype of the standard "hero's quest" ormonomyth pervasive across all cultures is somewhat controversial. Expounded mainly by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (published in 1949), it illustrates several uniting themes of hero stories that hold similar ideas of what a hero represents, despite vastly different cultures and beliefs. The monomyth or Hero's Journey consists of three separate stages including the Departure, Initiation, and Return. Within these stages there are several archetypes that the hero or heroine may follow including the call to adventure (which they may initially refuse), supernatural aid, proceeding down a road of trials, achieving a realization about...

He conducted a recent case study on the spiritual experience of practitioners in the Santo Daime Church. Based on his ayahuasca visions, Justin wrote and published a fictional book entitled The Knight of Dark Wood: The Last Tree Whisperer, which includes themes related to mythology and consciousness. He has spoken at several conferences in San Francisco on a topics related to Jungian psychology, archetypes, mythology and plant-based visionary states. He lives in Portland, OR. The Ritual Use of Ayahuasca: The Healing Effects of Symbolic and Mythological Participation Mythology and alchemy are significant aspects of humanity that have been lost in the modern world but carry important messages and tools for integrating various levels of the unconscious as well as engendering purpose and enhancing creativity and spirituality. Ayahuasca, and other entheogens (e.g., psilocybin, LSD, salvia divinorum, etc.) may serve as psycho-enrichment technologies (PETs) that enhance cognition, boost creativity and spirituality, and create harmonious relationships with others. The use of ayahuasca in a ritual setting has been found to stimulate optimal living through the integration of mythological, alchemical, and archetypal motifs into daily life. Ritual...

...Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum When I think of musical comedy, Stephen Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is the first show that comes to mind. Just three years ago, I had never heard of Forum before, until my high school choir director announced that it would be our 2008 musical. I was hesitant to audition at first, not knowing the plot or what I was getting myself into, but now I can honestly say that it was my favorite musical production ever to be a part of. Forum, a musical farce written in two acts and Sondheim’s first work on Broadway both as composer and lyricist, is “a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom” (MTI 1). In Sondheim’s own words, “there’s not a wasted moment in Forum, and the truth and the test of it is that the play is just as funny when performed by a group of high school students as it is when it is performed on Broadway. It is never not funny. The reason is, it is based on situations so solid that you cannot not laugh” (Gordon 25). A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a collaboration between American librettist Burt Shevelove, playwright Larry Gelbart, and musical theater extraordinaire, Stephen Sondheim. Originally, Shevelove had done a version of a Roman comedy in college and thought that a professional Broadway production would be very...

Yet, it never happened. In most cases I shard my compartment with talkative aunties, snoring men and wailing infants. But this night was different. First, my compartment was empty.
