Hero's Journey (TKAM and F451)
The Call
The call is an event which "calls" the character into action or adventure. It is the start of the characters journey/adventure.
Atticus' call
The call in To Kill a Mockingbird was when Atticus was called or requested by the state to take on Tom Robinson's rape case. This called Atticus to one of the biggest court cases that Maycomb county has ever seen.
Guy's call
Guy's call wasn't a literal call like Atticus, but instead his call was meeting Clarisse, the overly curious girl who was his new neighbor at the time but mysteriously "died" in a car accident.
The threshold
After being called to adventure, the character (hero) must pass through a threshold which is the door between the known and unknown. Before …show more content…
In the abyss, the character must face their biggest fear by themselves.
Atticus' abyss
Atticus' abyss starts with the whole Finch family (minus Calpurnia) walking home. This takes place a little time after the trial. While walking home, Bob Ewell comes out and attacks them. Although "defeating" Ewell wasn't at all Atticus, it was still considered his abyss. Boo Radley came out of his house fighting his fear and fights Ewell to the death (Ewell's death that is) and spares the children's lives and Atticus' as well.
Guy's abyss
The abyss in Fahrenheit 451 is when Guy starts to quote books that he has been reading in front of his wife and some of his wife's friends. Eventually I believe people started to find out through Mildred, word spread to Beatty and Beatty ordered him to burn down his own house. Thus infuriating Guy, causing him to kill Beatty by coating him with kerosene.
The transformation
At this point the character has conquered his or her fear and defeated the abyss. This is when an old part of him or her dies as a new part is being born.
Atticus' …show more content…
Guy's atonement
He accepts that he must live his new life with other people other than the people he had become close with and maybe known almost his whole life. This follows the revelation of the death of his old life which he now accepts and starts to continue his new life.
The return
The return is the final stage of the characters adventure. This is where the character "returns" with is new found self and comes back through the threshold back to his known world.
Atticus' return
Atticus returns to his home even though he only hypothetically left. He continues to go and defend other African Americans that need his help in trials. The Finch's then become close with Boo Radley. Scout and Jem have matured greatly and learned what it means to be a mindful and kind person.
Guy's return
Guy doesn't physically return to his home but is introduced to his new and improved home outside of his now obliterated city. He learns the new customs and shares his knowledge about the city right before it was
