The focus of our class today was on how the hero's journey could be applied to
Labyrinth which we watched on Tues and Wednesday this week. In class, we discussed what order the stages of the journey seemed to come in in the movie and why and which characters fit which archetypes (see chart below). We focused specifically on the ordeal and what the nature of the ordeal told us about Sarah's journey. We also discussed the meaning of the story and how the meaning effects they way in which we interpret the role and purpose of some of the characters.
At the end of class, we began reading the epic Gilgamesh. While reading this everyone should fill out a hero's journey note sheet. We will start talking about this epic in class on Monday.
