According to our past blog activities, i have learned a lot about the hero's quest, which is a kind of life experience that all the heroes have in common and these life experiences or as defined by Joseph Campbell as hero's quest is divided or at least represented with various stages in which the hero goes through many process during his life period and gives the perfect touch to create a meaning and emotions to the viewers, readers or the audience.
All of these activites during class made me realize that no matter what happens during the plot of the story, the hero is never going to die, he or she may experience near death experiences, but as soon as they recover they come back more powerful and wiser than before, and if they die, another hero may appear, and usually this new hero is a close relative to the real hero.
In conclusion, i agree with Joseph Campbell belief that "if the hero in his triumph wins the blessing of the goddess or the god and is then explicitly commissioned to return to the world with some elixir for the restoration of society, the final stage of his adventure is supported by all the powers of his supernatural patron".
