    The word hero as defined as an “individual who has the courage of conviction to perform feats that benefit the general populace, acts as a soldier of virtue, and has an altruistic spirit that urges him or her to act against evil and defend the greater good at all costs, even sacrificing his own well-being or life.” (Harrison 2). Although heroes can come in any shape and size they are commonly found in stories we read, movies we watch, or people we look up to. We do not think about it much but even our own life is made up of many hero’s journeys. We never realize that our hardships and how we overcome them is exactly what a Hero’s Journey is about and why we relate to and enjoy these stories so much.

    The Hero’s Journey is a pattern of narrative that appears in novels, storytelling, myth, and religious ritual. It was first identified by the American scholar Joseph Campbell in his book A Hero with Thousand Faces. Campbell also discussed this pattern in his interview to Bill Moyers which was later published as a book The Power of Myths. This pattern describes the typical adventure of the archetype known as The Hero, the person who goes out and achieves great deeds. Campbell detailed many stages in the Hero’s Journey, but he also summarized the pattern in three fundamental phases: Separation, Ordeal, and Return that all heroes, in spite of their sex, age, culture, or religion, have to overcome in order to reach the goal. Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, provides a good example of the Hero's Journey. This story describes the adventures of Alice, a young English girl, in Wonderland. Although she lacks some of the stages identified by Campbell, she still possesses many of them that are necessary for a Hero to be considered a Hero.

I would read his works for whatever is left of my life just to feel somewhat nearer to him once more. I attempted to induce him to return to bed, however he cannot. He guaranteed me he would be back soon. He assembled it a conference. Why wouldn't he be able to be straightforward with me? Alex never preferred duels. He preferred not to get included in any.

    In today’s rapidly advancing society, there are only a few forms of entertainment that have truly withstood the test of time. Of these, the film industry is arguably the most immortal, continuing to be the dominating force in entertainment with global box office revenue expected to increase from 36 billion in 2016 to 50 billion in 2020. In today’s world, film matters for the same reason that art does, that being it embodies and highlights the state of affairs within the world at time, specifically those values, attitudes and beliefs of the culture within which and for which the film is made. Arguably the most iconic plot structure of a film is that of a hero’s journey.

In this presentation, John Lasseter’s 1998 blockbuster A Bug’s Life, will be analysed with respect to its context and receival by audiences, the values, attitudes and beliefs it conveys as well as it’s hero’s journey.
