ARCHETYPES: HERO’S JOURNEY & IDENTITY Analyzing the Character, Tracking the Journey, Discovering Relevance

DEFINITION

§ An original model or pattern from which other later copies are

made, especially a character in action, going through different situations that seem to represent common patterns of human life.

§ Possess particular emotional resonance and power.

§ Erik Erikson: “identity crisis” o The upheaval of old values, mores, norms

§ James Marcia, “States of Identity” for psychological development o Significantly determined by commitments made

regarding personal and social traits o Along with moments of crisis where one’s values and

choices are reevaluated

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS/ATTRIBUTES or

§ Often include a symbol, a theme, a setting, or a character that some critics think have a common, universal meaning in an entire culture, or even the entire human race.

THE HERO’S JOURNEY ARCHETYPE INCORPORATES: § SYMBOLS (images, “elixirs”, objects of great significance; ideas,

motifs, themes) § SITUATIONS (plot patterns, setting, “moments”) § CHARACTERS (hero, guardians, mentors, villain, etc.) THE HERO’S IDENTITY: § The states or processes the hero undergoes for a

transformation (with tragic or positive consequences) § Non-sequential

KEY COMPONENTS

THE HERO’S JOURNEY: Stage 1: DEPARTURE: The hero is called to adventure, although

he is reluctant to accept.

Stage 2: INITIATION: The hero crosses a threshold into a new, more dangerous world, gaining a more mature perspective.

Stage 3: The ROAD OF TRIALS: The hero is given supernatural aid, endures tests of strength, resourcefulness, and endurance.

Stage 4: THE INNERMOST CAVE: The hero descends into the innermost cave, an underworld, or some other place of great trial. Sometimes this place can be within the hero’s own mind. Because of this trial, the hero is reborn in some way—physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Through this experience, the hero changes internally.

Stage 5: RETURN AND REINTEGRATION with Society: The hero uses his new wisdom to restore fertility and order to the land

THE HERO’S IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT STATUSES (NON-SEQUENTIAL PROCESS):

• FORECLOSURE is the status in which the adolescent seems willing to commit to some relevant roles, values, or goals for the future. Adolescents in this stage have not experienced an identity crisis. They tend to conform to the expectations of others regarding their future (e.g. allowing a parent to determine a career direction). As such, these individuals have not explored a range of options.

• IDENTITY DIFFUSION occurs when the adolescent does not have a sense of having choices; he or she has not yet made (nor is attempting/willing to make) a commitment

• MORATORIUM is the status of a person who is actively involved in exploring different identities, but has not made a commitment.

• IDENTITY ACHIEVEMENT occurs when an individual has gone through an exploration of different identities and made a commitment to one.

FREE MINDS AND HEARTS AT WORK JACKIE ROBINSON, THIS I BELIEVE

1. At the beginning of the World Series of 1947, I experienced a completely new emotion when the National Anthem was played. This time, I thought, it is being played for me, as much as for anyone else. This is organized major league baseball, and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me.

2. About a year later, I went to Atlanta, Georgia, to play in an exhibition game. On the field, for the first time in Atlanta, there were Negroes and whites. Other Negroes, besides me. And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.

3. And what is it that I have always believed? First, that imperfections are human. But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think, those imperfections would disappear, no matter how slowly. I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection. That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events. Handicaps, stumbling blocks, prejudices—all of these are imperfect. Yet, they have to be reckoned with because they are in the scheme of human events.

4. Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder. But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all, except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance. It had a chance because it took place in a free society. Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object. Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all. Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement. I look at my children now, and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.

5. But I can tell them, too, that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them. And to myself I can say that, because progress is unalterable, many of today’s dogmas will have vanished by the time they grow into adults. I can say to my children: There is a chance for you. No guarantee, but a chance.

6. And this chance has come to be, because there is nothing static with free people. There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward. I do not believe that every person, in every walk of life, can succeed in spite of any handicap. That would be perfection. But I do believe—and with every fiber in me—that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us (no matter how slowly) the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today; and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.

7. I believe in the human race. I believe in the warm heart. I believe in man’s integrity. I believe in the goodness of a free society. And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it—and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist.

8. My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball. This was the area where I found imperfection, and where I was best able to fight. And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight. It couldn’t be a losing fight—not when it took place in a free society.

9. And; in the largest sense, I believe that what I did was done for me—that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight. And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.

In 1947, Jackie Robinson pioneered the integration of American professional athletics by becoming the first black player in Major League Baseball. During his 10 seasons with the Brooklyn Dodgers, he played on six World Series teams and was voted the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1949.

HERO’S JOURNEY IN _________________ AUTHOR / DIRECTOR: GENRE:

SEPARATION FROM THE KNOWN WORLD

STAGE & CHARACTERISTICS

CHARACTER:

THE CALL q Invites us into adventure q Offers the opportunity to gain something of value (physical or

spiritual) by facing the unknown q May choose willingly to undertake quest or may be dragged into it q Reasons for quest:

1. Something was taken and we need to reclaim it 2. Something is lacking in our life and we must find what is missing 3. We want to save or restore honor 4. We realize something is not permitted and must gain these rights

THE THRESHOLD q The jumping off point for the adventure q Interface between the known (familiar world) and the unknown (a

world filled with challenges and dangers) q At the threshold, people and situations block our passage until we are

truly ready to meet the challenge q Threshold guardians: for children (parents), for adults (fears

and doubts) q Encounter helpers who provide assistance (often bringing a divine gift

or talisman) q Most important helper is a mentor or guide (keeps us focused on goal) q Mentors/helpers cannot take the journey for us, we must do it

ourselves if we are to benefit from it and grow

INITIATION & TRANSFORMATION

STAGE & CHARACTERISTICS

CHARACTER:

THE CHALLENGES q Begin journey into unknown (outward into a physical unknown or

inward into a psychological unknown) q Puts hero more and more at risk (emotionally, mentally,

psychologically, and/or physically) q Face a series of challenges or temptations that increase in difficulty q Challenges always strike at greatest weakness q Greatest test is to differentiate real helpers from “tempters” q Tempters try to pull us away from our path

DAVID N. CHUNG. LANGUAGE ARTS, PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA USD.: [email protected] / gatepathways.blogspot.com 9

INITIATION & TRANSFORMATION [CONTINUED]

STAGE & CHARACTERISTICS CHARACTER:

THE ABYSS q Greatest challenge of the journey, we must surrender ourselves

completely to it q We must face our greatest fear, and face it alone (known as “slaying

the dragon”) q A possibility the challenge will beat us, or we can’t surrender to it and

thus retreat

THE TRANSFORMATION q As we conquer and overcome our fears, the transformation is complete q Final step is the moment of death and rebirth (part of us dies so a new

part can be born)

THE REVELATION q Part of the Transformation is a Revelation (a sudden, dramatic change

in the way we think or view life) q The change in thinking is what makes us a different person

ATONEMENT q We achieve atonement [compensation, restoration or the payment for

a mistake] when we are “at one” with our new self. q We are in harmony with life and the world (an imbalance has been

corrected)

THE RETURN TO THE KNOWN WORLD

STAGE & CHARACTERISTICS CHARACTER:

THE RETURN q Our return to everyday life q We discover our gift and may become a great leader or are spiritually

enlightened q We begin contributing to our society (possibly renewing or even

saving it) q Sometimes things don’t go smoothly:

1. Our message is rejected 2. We are ostracized or killed for our ideal 3. We lose our new understanding or are corrupted 4. We leave society because our understanding is greater than

others around us
