  • In this reader vogler he goes ahead and introduces the rest of the archetypes to the reader. We are first introduced to the threshold guardian who we find out is not a villain or advisory of the hero but a an obstacle or challeneg for the hero on his journey to new world. vogler goes onto explain the roles of the other archetypes; the herald, the shapeshifter the shaddow, the ally and the tricstar. Although the hero and metor are generally considered the most important arcetypes the rest are just as essentional to each and every the story.
  • This last readings of voglers book is the final wraping up of all the charatcers or archetypes that make up hero stories. it has been a fun read, voglers writing style allows for that. i still maintain that the hero is my fvourite archetype but i imagine he is probably most peoples favourite. i am now excited to read on and move away from jus the characters but the detailed stages because think this part will help with the writing of our paper.
  • If we reflect on what we have previously read in Hemingways indian camp story and compare it to what Vogler says about arcehtypes how can we class the different characters? The father can be both the hero and the mentore because of delivering the baby and mentoring his young son. Then again so could the indian women also be considered a hero for overcoming the ordeal of child birth in class we all dicussed what part in the indian camp story unlce george played and from what Prof. Kat mentioned there is already being wide specualation of this in literature to the point where people have wrote books! so one of my questions must be;

  1. What arcetype would you characterize uncle george as?
  2. Now we have read all the arcetypes which would do you consider youself to be?
  3. since reading volger has anyone in class had a recent experiance where they have thought "he/she is that type of arcetype?"
