The epic hero mono-myth is the basis for all hero stories or myths. The myth consist of 12 steps Status Quo, Call to Adventure, Assistance, Departure, Trials, Approach, Crisis, Treasure, Result, Return, New Life, Resolution, Return To Status Quo. There are good examples of the epic hero mono-myth in stories like Luke Skywalker, and Rick Grimes, but which one is the best?
Luke Skywalker is a good example because he starts off as a normal teen that hate where he is at that would be the status quo. He finds a to robots and finds a recoding of a girl I need of help that would be the call to adventure. The he meet obi wan Kenobi which he tell Luke about his dad and now asked him to help him on his quest other wise known as the a**istance. Then Luke and Obi wan look for a way to get to Alderaan and get the help of Han Solo to get there this would be known as the departure. One of the first trials the gang encounters is try to escape the dearth star. When obi wan first approaches Darth Vader in battle. Luke goes in to crisis after losing his master obi wan and goes in to depression. One of the biggest and best treasures Luke win is destroying the d**h star. the result is the last action of the enemy which is when you see dark vader's ship spin out in to space. Luke new life begins is at the award ceremony he is a man now. Some of the resolution is r2d2 is fixed and han rejoin the group. Lastly thing relatively normal but in this case things really changed for luke and his life calm down but he now lives a completely different life now compared to his status quo.
Rick grimes from the walking is a perfect example to the epic hero monomyth. His status quo starts off as a cop ho is having some marriage problems. Rick's call to adventure begins when he wakes up in an empty hospital from a gun shot. He gets a**istance from Morgan and son they tell him all that has happened and give him food. Rick find his house empty as well and want to try to find his family this is the departure. On his way to find his family rick faces a trial of surviving an attack of walkers also known as zombies he some how find his way in to a tank for safety. Rick in the safety of the tank finds out he drop his bag of gun and has no way of fighting back he must run closely approach d**h. With the help of glenn rick barely makes it to safety as they make it past there crisis. One of the biggest treasure rick has right now is having people around him that can help him. Rick and his new friends finely make it out of Atlanta as a result for right now is the last we see of the walkers. rick's new friends lead him to a camp and he is about to start his new life. As they get to camp rick sees his family and is enlighten with joy as the resolution. the return of status quo is rick has his family back and is some what happy.
Rick grimes and luke skywalker are good example of the epic hero mono myth. which one is a better? I say rick is a better example. at the end of both stories rick had his family back and friends he will life his life kind of like his last. Luke Skywalker at the end of his story he start a completely different life he never really goes bak not even a little. Rick's is the better example solely on the fact his story follow the mono myth a little bit closer.
