This is cut and paste --give me your thoughts. Hero's journey.
ReplyDeleteSir,
DeleteI didn't cut and paste.
I wrote this post in my own words after research.
And for the hero's journey,
here is what I have posted before on this blog:
It is about how the Matrix (Neo) fix the Hero's journey.
The main character in The Matrix, Thomas Anderson a.k.a Neo plays the role of hero. He went through the hero’s journey, from ignorance to knowledgeable, which fits the three main stages of monomyth —departure, initiation and return.
Departure: Neo receives a call to adventure while he falls asleep. He receives a message that asked him to wake up and to follow the white rabbit. He finally accepts the call to adventure by follow a woman that has a white rabbit tattoo on her arm. Neo then meets Trinity and she leads Neo along the way to seek the answer that Neo has been looking for. He undergoes a rebirth process after he is connected to wires and tube which bring him to another world.
Initiation: Neo undergoes a series of trials. He receives training to uncover his potential. After he met Oracle, an old woman who helps the freed humans with her foresight and wisdom, he starts his hero’s journey — to discover the truth. Neo fights together with his crew member along the way. He even decided to risk his own life in order to save Morpheus.
Return: Neo wakes up from the matrix programme and returns to the real world. He said that he is going to show all the people a world without controls and rules, a world where anything is possible.
