Campbell begins his explanation of the hero’s journey by revealing the first step of his monomyth, The Call to Adventure. The call can not be seen as physical nor as musical, instead it can be viewed as every person's tether to the universe and when the universe pulls that tether, it demands the attention of those it calls. The universe should not be seen as tyrannical however, for it calls a person to adventure not to be cruel but to bestow the knowledge that a rite of passage must soon be taken. In the end though, each individual person must choose whether they accept the call to adventure or refuse it as seen when Adam & Eve in “Paradise Lost” are given the call when God forbids them from eating from the Tree of Knowledge.
