The concept of the hero’s journey is significantly cliché. It seems that each hero story starts and ends exactly the same way in today’s pop culture. In Linda Seger’s “Creating the Myth,” she gives insight on what makes a hero, how this specific type of hero creates a myth, and the significance the hero has on the story. In Robert Ray’s “The Thematic Paradigm,” he defines two types of heroes in American pop culture: the official hero and the outlaw hero. These two types of heroes are different in their personalities and beliefs, with the official hero being family oriented and the outlaw hero being more individualistic.

Therefore, the Boy’s “Hero’s Journey” in The Road, while certainly not a traditional Hero’s Journey, does contain several key elements of the journey, such as a mentor, tests, and a supreme ordeal. However, the atypical journey of the Boy, particularly the lack of a clear denouement, allows the Hero’s Journey of the Boy to become open to the interpretation of the reader, and therefore allow the reader to transpose their own experiences and journey to the Boy as he struggles to keep the fire

The Heroes Journey, identified by American scholar Joseph Campbell, is a pattern of narrative that describes the typical adventure of the main hero, whether that be a fiction or nonfiction hero. The first step is the call to adventure, where something shakes up the hero’s current situation and the hero starts experiencing change. Consequently, this theory is also applied to the fictional hero Odysseus in The Odyssey and the real-life hero Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights activist. In The Odyssey, Odysseus embarks on a 10-year voyage from Troy to Ithaca and encounters many monsters along the way including a gigantic Cyclops described as “…a brute so huge, he seemed no man at all…” (9 89-90).

Everyone has heard a good hero story, because they are everywhere, in the media, in history, and in even with each other. Tales of action and adventures have been around since humans have known how to tell stories, but every story has a similar journey that they embark on. The tale of the hero has many variations, but they each follow the same basic pattern that Joseph Campbell describes in his book A Hero with a Thousand Faces. Some stories only follow the basic outline of a hero, and others can be traced along the route exactly. An example that follows the outline exactly is The NeverEnding Story (1984) which is a movie based on a German book by Michael Ende.

After discussing and learning about the Hero’s Journey and if Beowulf was a hero, I came to realize something very strange: Do all stories fit this broad idea that one single man crafted in the 1940’s? That was my mission, to seek out if every story tolled can be categorized as a type of Hero’s Journey. I met with my mentors, including Joseph Campbell, who taught me the entire Hero’s Journey. He also taught me what it means to be a hero. Again a hero does not have to be the likes of Superman or Batman.
