The Hero’s Journey is a basic template utilized by writers everywhere. Joseph Campbell, an American scholar, analyzed an abundance of myths and literature and decided that almost all of them followed a template that has around twelve steps. He would call these steps the Hero’s Journey. The steps to the Hero’s Journey are a hero is born into ordinary circumstances, call to adventure/action, refusal of call, a push to go on the journey, aid by mentor, a crossing of the threshold, the hero is tested, defeat of a villain, possible prize, hero goes home. The Hero’s Journey is more or less the same journey every time. It is a circular pattern used in stories or myths.
In several different scenarios, the grandmother is shown as manipulative, snobbish, and slightly senile and judges based on appearance. For example, when the family meets Red Sam at the gas station, he mentions his tendency to allow complete strangers to charge gas, and he is curious why he would allow strangers like the grandmother to do so, and the grandmother replies, "Because you're a good man" (427). The grandmother makes this determination with a very small amount of knowledge of who Red Sam is, and without any information or significant insight about him as a person. Additionally, after the accident happens and the misfit makes his first appearance, the grandmother immediately notices his ability to put the family at ease with genuine kindness. This evaluation by the grandmother motivates her to compliment the dangerous criminal, and she even goes as far to call him a good man. While it is likely she is just attempting to earn approval with the misfit, it is still another example of the grandmother making shallow generalizations based on outward appearances and behavior without knowing the person. Furthermore, irony is strategically placed in the story when the grandmother encounters the misfit and calls out to him that he was her baby, indicating that she saw herself mirrored in the demeanor of the misfit. Consequently, the misfit mentions that she would have been a good woman, “If there had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life”
