Question

How does the Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell) apply to an ordinary person with an ordinary life? I need an answer so idc how many points i spend

Answer 1

The 12 steps, as Campbell defined them, begin with a call to adventure, a challenge or quest that presents itself to an ordinary person in the ordinary world. Initially, the person is afraid and refuses that call. But with guidance from a mentor or a text, they overcome their fears, cross the threshold, and commit to the journey.

The reward’s not the end of the story, however. Next, the hero must return to the ordinary world where the journey began, transformed by their experience. Finally, the reborn hero shares what they’ve learned on the journey with others.

Answer 2

The heroes journey applies to an ordinary person in an ordinary life because the Journey of the "Hero" also started from an "Ordinary World". That hero once had an ordinary life and was an "Ordinary person". So, an "ordinary person" can take some lesson from Joseph Campbell's "HERO'S JOURNEY". Also, When the Hero's journey was finished, he went back to his "ordinary world" having an "ordinary life."
