Detective Spooner Hero's Journey

Our interpretation of the hero’s inner journey was that there was not a dramatic change in Spooner’s inner journey, but, he did go through some minor changes that has made him become a better person.

Overall, throughout ‘I, Robot’ Spooner does not go through huge differences that affects him greatly. However, Sonny does go through various emotional phases that eventually determine his future
