RE: Campbell's HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES

[Susan]

Whoever posted that chart outlining the hero quest according to Campbell's theory doesn't know how to apply it. I've never seen anything so screwed up. The person trying to apply the Campbell outline is trying to apply it only the Star Wars: Episode 4. It cannot be done. Campbell's outline must be applied to all 3 movies: Episode 4; Episode 5; and Episode 6. Parts of Campbell's outline do not occur until Episodes 5 and 6.

Can be. and has been. See this website's excellent job at it, at www.jitterbug.com/origins/myth.html
