* Quest consists of 5 things: A quester, place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials en route, and a real reason to go there.

-Every time a character sets out to do something it's a quest. The idea of a quest has evolved greatly, as literature has evolved.

In the film Shrek, Shrek must stop the wedding between Lord Farquaad and Princess Fiona. Like all heroes of antiquity this final test must be completed alone. Shrek finds the truth from Donkey and understands who Princess Fiona is in her real form. Shrek, who is all the way in his swamp, needs to make it in time to stop the wedding in Duloc. This is where the Dragon, Shrek had defeated, came to help stop the wedding. Donkey had called this Dragon, fulfilling his job as a hero partner. The Dragon provided a way to get to the wedding just in time. As soon as Shrek got there, he ran into the church and stopped Princess Fiona and Lord Farquaad from giving each other a kiss. Shrek and Princess Fiona then expressed their feelings and love towards each other. As soon as they were about to kiss and be declared as husband and wife, Lord Farquaad gets his guards to hold them apart so he can complete the marriage with a kiss, becoming the king. This is where another divine intervention comes, in the form of the Dragon once again. The Dragon knocks down all of his guards. This is the time of sunset and Princess Fiona comes to her true form with the audience and Lord Farquaad being disgusted. Shrek and Fiona happily get married, but Princess Fiona remains an ogre finding out it is her true form. The completion of the final test is the most important element in a hero’s life and Shrek succeeds and is rewarded by

A quest in a book consists of five aspects. A quester, a place to go, a reason to go there, challenges and trials, and a real reason to go there. Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, is a book that consists of all five aspects of a quest. Eragon is the quester in this novel. He lives a simple life, farming with his uncle and cousin. The place he goes is out of Carvahall, because he is running away from monstrous villains that want to find him and the dragon egg Eragon hatched. Eragon will travel through almost all of the country Alagaesia throughout his journey. The intended reason for Eragon to travel through Alagaesia is to avenge the monsters that killed his uncle Garrow. Eragon has to go through many challenges and trials before he finally avenges

In How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster presents a guide to help readers further understand the novels they read. In chapter one, he claims that every trip is a quest, and every quest has five main components. Each journey consists of a “quester”, or a journeying character that lacks self-knowledge. This character has a desired destination and a stated purpose of going there. Throughout this journey, the character experiences challenges and obstacles, eventually learning something new about him or her self. Thus, we learn that a simple trip has a deeper meaning and purpose.

4. The next key words were identified in the chapter and serve as an informal outline of the chapter. At the beginning of the chapter, Foster gives a brief example of a quest: a knight (Kip), a dragon road (German shepherds), Holy Grail (wonder bread), one dragon (’68 ‘Cuda), evil knight (Tony) and a princess (the laughing girl). In other words, each story has a quester, a place to go to, along with stated reason to go there and unknown challenges and trials en route; however, at the end there is a real reason for the whole trip - self-discovery (Foster 3). The stated reason is

From this chapter, In learned that the truth behind all quests is to find self-knowledge. Most of the time, the people on the quest are young and inexperienced, but by the end of their adventure, they’ve found their niche, and completed their mission. There is always a quester, a place to go, a reason to go, challenges and trials en route, and the real reason to go.

The five aspects of the quest are the quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials on the way, and the real reason to go there. When I read The Secret Life Of the Bees the quester was Lily, she was looking to go to Tiburon to find out more information about her mother and the past. On her journey she runs away from her father, falls in love, and becomes a part of a family. The real reason behind her journey is to get away from her father and feel connected with a family.

Foster breaks down the aspects of a journey to describe the quester, the destination, the stated reason, the challenges, and the real reason. The character who embarks on the journey, also known as the quester, has a defined reason to do so, whether it is to obtain an object, save one from the lurking dangers, or acquire life-saving knowledge. Along their way to reach their destination, they may encounter various challenges such as a physical barrier, a challenger/defender, or a personal obstacle they must face. Through whatever form it takes, these barriers force the quester to challenge their abilities and beliefs, which ultimately leads to them discovering personal knowledge previously unknown about themselves. Though the quester may have accomplished their stated goal of their journey, they return from their voyage often as a changed person as the real reason for their quest was to gain self-knowledge. After they finish their conquest, the quester realizes that the journey was more important than the destination whether they built upon their relationships with another, conquered a personal fear, or gained new found knowledge about themselves, altering their personality and their identity. Foster believes that every trip is a quest, and the quest is a revelation about one’s

Shrek leaves his ordinary world when he leaves his house, then goes to the Lord’s castle. Shrek leaves the Lord’s castle sets his way out to the castle which encases Princess Fiona. Donkey, Shrek’s mentor, helps Shrek throughout his tests. Shrek’s enemy is prevailed as soon as the movie starts. Shrek’s rival would be Lord Farquaad because he wishes to only marry the princess, so he can be a monarch. The earliest test would be where Shrek goes against the Lord’s men in a fight. This is where the Lord decided Shrek’s expedition. Without Donkey, Shrek would have never found the Lord’s castle. Shrek proceeds to go through another test. He must rescue Princess Fiona from the highest room in the tallest tower, without dying from the dragon or the lava that encircles the fortress where Fiona is held hostage until someone liberates her from her bedroom in the

Quest is a method where a literary work is broken down into five simple components. The five aspect of Quest consists of a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go, challenges and trials, and a real place to go. This method can be applied to a novel by John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath because many examples are peppered throughout the story.

A Quest consists of five elements: 1. a quester, so to speak, or the person who is on a quest. 2. a place to go. 3. a stated reason to actually go there. 4. challenges and trials on the way. 5. a real reason to go there.

Later on the film mice run around the table and up on Shrek's shoulders. As Shrek tries to catch them he fails on numerous occasions turning this scene into a bit of a comedy. The behaviour of the donkey and the mice suggests that Shrek is not as frightening an ogre as he should be and shows the soft side of him. This makes the viewers sympathise Shrek and notice that he is not as bad as first impressions show. Throughout the film Shrek continuously has to remind the other characters that he is an ogre and therefore they should be scared of him.
