    Disney Hercules Journey Analysis

    A perfect example of the hero journey is Disney Hercules. In this movie The calling to adventure (which also has the Atonement of the father intertwined) is when he discovers that he's the son of Zeus. Which prompts him to want to become as his Father is,a God, and live on Olympus like his father as well. This can also be interpreted as the atonement of the Father. Campbell suggest that the image of god is an archetype of the father and a source of power.…

    The Twelve Labors: Is Hercules A Hero?

    I think Hercules is a hero for very many reasons. He has incredible bravery and strength, but that is not the only qualities of a hero. Throughout his life, he struggled with self-control and was not the most intelligent person. What affected his lifestyle the most was his trouble with self-control. After being taunted by Hera several times, the frustration eventually built up and he killed his wife and children out of anger.…

    Compare And Contrast Hercules And Atalanta

    Some heroes, such as Perseus, “live happily ever after” (Hamilton 206-207), like he did with Andromeda, but for others, love is the most difficult trial of all. Atalanta’s romance is tragic for her, as “She declare[s] that she would marry whoever could beat her in a foot race, knowing well that there was no such man alive” (Hamilton 249), at least without trickery. A clever man named Melanion challenges her to a race, but drops three irresistible golden apples along the course so she would be forced to stop and pick them up, allowing him to win the race and her hand, ending Atalanta’s “free days alone in the forest and her athletic victories” (Hamilton 251). Hercules’ love results in his death after his wife, Deianira, gives him what she thought was a love charm, but instead forces agony upon the hero, leading him to end his own…
