ABSTRACT
The Hero's Journey is a common narrative model used for a broad category of tales involving a hero who goes on a transformative adventure. Also referenced as a monomyth, it is widely applied as a foundation for the dynamics of a hero-centric story, in particular, for movies. The study of the hero myth began in 1871 with anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor's observations of patterns in plots of heroes’ journeys and was made popular by Joseph Campbell, who was influenced by Carl Jung's view of myth. In his book Every Guest Is A Hero, Adam M. Berger introduces The Hero's Journey as a method for creating an experiential, spatial journey through the Disney theme parks, altering the role and the passage of the audience as they are physically placed in the story universe. Once inside the story, the audience will no longer settle for a passive role, standing on the sideline, merely watching.
