The Archetype and the Monomyth Cycle

We have discussed Archetypes this year.  The obvious bad guys in” Apocalypto”, the Cyclops in The Odyssey, and Gen. Zaroff in “The Most Dangerous Game”.  Please copy the definition below for your notes:

We have also seen the Monomyth Cycle in the Odyssey, as well as other stories.  Discuss the pattern with some of the other tales we’ve read and analyzed this year – particularly the Odyssey.  

Classwork Due (10 points): LIST 3 archetypical ‘good main characters’, and 3 archetypical ‘bad’ antagonists.

Example: 1) Good: Rainsford ===> Bad: Gen Zaroff

Analyze and Discuss the Monomyth cycle below.  Then we will begin the movie “Runaway Train”, and try to figure out who is the ‘good’ character, and who is ‘bad’.

Here’s how you can help me grift:

My Udemy classes are here – extremely low price and you have them forever.

I also sell custom made mugs. I’ll do personalized orders as well. They are all made in the United States – in Pennsylvania.

All of the mugs are here on Gearbubble. These are made in the USA, and if you don’t want to contribute to Amazon’s record profits during this time of CV19, the Gearbubble link is the one to use. Thank you!
