The Hero’s Journey
Anna McCraith, Natasha Walsh, John Hay, Matthew Hamill
Refusal of the Call
This method helps build the heroes journey and motivation further.
Luke Skywalker Refuses Ben Kenobi’s advice of becoming the new Jedi era.
Luke then lists his reasons of why he cannot take this burden, showing what our hero has to lose, the stakes at hand.
Ben Kenobi warns Luke of returning to his relatives showing the aspects of threat and danger toward our hero.
Once returning to find the remains of his loved ones Lukes words are ‘there is nothing here for me anymore’. This symbolising the acceptance of his role.
The journey begins as Luke asks Kenobi can he still train and travel with him. This symbolising Luke Crossing the Threshold Beginning his path.
Without the Refusal Luke’s Journey would not have the meaning it does
once he accepts. The motives are morevengeful, not heroic.

Mentors in Folklore and Myth
Chiron: A Prototype
Unlike most centaurs in Greek mythology, Chiron was kind, calm and respected. He was the teacher of many Greek heroes like Hercules, Jason, Perseus and Theseus. He was highly revered among the gods as a teacher and a tutor as well as a respectable father-figure as he had to raise many of the young heroes from infancy.
Chiron is seen as the archetypal Mentor as he helped guide the heroes of Greek mythology through life and helped prepare them for any danger they would face. When he died Zeus rewarded him with the highest honour he could bestow, he transformed him into the zodiac Sagittarius.
In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena took the form of Mentor, the son of Hercules, encourage Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, to find his father who was fighting in the Trojan War. - The Odyssey of Homer
