Professor" by Thomas C. Foster, the first chapter is dedicated to explaining the aspects of a quest in literature. Using this chapter, entitled 'Every Trip is a Quest (Except When It's Not)' (page 1-6), the aspects in question can be related to the quest in "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.

When talking about quest, a person is referring to five aspects. These five aspects are; (a) a quester, (b) a place to go, (c) a stated reason to go there, (d) challenges and trials, (e) the real reason to go. Nearly every story revolves around the idea of quest.
