Elixir

in this essay. I will be using the Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell for both of them by using three stages from it. For the Matrix, I will be using “Meeting with Mentor”, “The Ordeal” and “Return with Elixir” stages. For Beowulf, I will be using “Call to Adventure”, “Reward” and “Return with Elixir” stages. In the Matrix, Neo meets Morpheus, a guy that he was looking for and vice versa. In this stage of “Meeting with Mentor”, Morpheus is convincing Neo to take the red pill to get out of the Matrix

he stages of a hero's journey are linear and simple. A hero starts in an ordinary that might be relatable to the reader. while the hero is there the hero will encounter a call to adventure and these will be the first signs of conflict and plot for the hero. a refusal of the call from the hero is common and could stem from a few reasons such as obligations or a family he needs to be there for or simply out of pure fear he will refuse this adventure. Meeting the mentor the hero may not be able to succeed

lost his identity beyond redemption. This shows that Hyde completely took over Jekyll and Hyde was overall, more dominant than Jekyll. Hyde is described as pure evil and the evil side of Jekyll, which completely took over him when Jekyll drank the elixir. He also says that he must “flee before daylight from a house that was no longer mine.” In here he is saying that since Hyde completely took over Jekyll’s body, the house he owned is now Hyde’s property. This shows how Jekyll failed to control his

Hi Dr. Crockett! Out of the different options you listed I think I would prefer the first one, to work with the hero's journey to see where it is valid. But I'm not sure whether I would like to compare it to a personal experience or a fictional story. Although it would be interesting to work with a book or movie, I can't really think of any other examples at the moment. I'm sure I could come up with some until Wednesday. If you would ask me to reflect on a personal experience, I actually have

Consequently, Reynolds and Bedier address a controversial theme regarding the identity of endearment created by elixirs: the movie version displays authentic love as a catalyst for a greater purpose in life while the Romanic edition displays the transformation of love into a burden by pseudo passion. In fact, the Romantic version uses differing forms of love to outline the ambiguity behind elixirs.

The Birth-Mark is a story about a husband, Aylmer, who looks at his wife, Georgiana, as imperfection, due to the mark on her left cheek. The setting of the story was based in the late 1700s, between the laboratory and a boudoir. In the story, a lot of detail goes into the laboratory and the boudoir that help characterize them and help give the overall metaphor at the end of the story. The details of both places show the effort Georgiana is going through to satisfy Aylmer. It also helps one visualize

Road Back Harry’s road back leads him two ways. Vogler states that “The Road Back is a turning point, another threshold crossing which marks the passage from Act Two to Act Three. Like crossing the First Threshold, it may cause a change in the aim of the story” (189). With Harry heading home to the Dursley’s for the summer break from Hogwarts, having strong intentions of returning to continue his adventure (and his battle against Voldemort), the initial plot of an escape to adventure becomes a

What is Kick-Ass? For some it’s just a silly comedy; however, it’s a real hero story. This story is about a normal high-schooler, David Lizewski, who likes to read comics. One day he thinks to himself that there are so many people who need help and he wonders why no one has tried becoming a superhero. After, he gets robbed by two villains, following that he decides to become a superhero and fight for the people of New York. Therefore he buys a green suit on eBay and two clubs, and starts fighting
