Archetype Of Miyagi Hero's Journey

A hero’s journey is a pattern of narratives that appears in storytellings, dramas, myths and religions. The hero’s journey is a path from the self, to a new identity which has risks and which the hero must leave to achieve the great deeds. The hero must leave so they learn how to grow. The hero is not necessarily strong or noble, but they will train in order to achieve their goal. The hero must pay a price to reach the goal, but always does achieve what they set out to do with the help of others along the way. A hero will sacrifice everything to go to a new and unfamiliar environment. The hero’s archetype is so persuasive in narratives because hero’s share ordinary characteristics and overcome universal challenges similar to the average person.

Often the hero will fail many of the tests. These tests are to provide knowledge to the Hero, who his friends are, and who his enemies are. Usually during this phase the Hero ignores or is very rude to the Supernatural Aid. The Hero does not realize they are doing this till they fail. For example, Daniel learns how to fight for the karate tournament. He is not just learning different kicks and punches he is learning responsibility. Mr. Miyagi is very wise and was once very good at karate, so he knows what he is talking about. At first Daniel does not think Mr. Miyagi is being very helpful, but soon realizes he is just doing whatever it takes to make Daniel better. The hero receives a boost or support of love, specifically unconditional love. This means it is accepting of the good and the bad in someone, accepting the bliss and the pain, the pleasure and the suffering. She symbolizes the end goal of a better life, that there is something that makes life worth living. Daniel and Ali really like each other but it isn’t that simple because her ex- boyfriend is Johnny who bullies Daniel and who Daniel is fighting in the karate competition. Also Ali’s family is very wealthy and Daniel’s is not, so her parents don’t approve of them
