Writers, it's time to discuss one of my favorite storytelling topics: plot structure.
Today, in particular, we're going to break down a structure originally outlined by mythologist Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The Hero's Journey is a classic plot structure that appears in many speculative fiction books, films, television shows, and other forms of media.
Examples of works that utilize The Hero's Journey include Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Hunger Games, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings,and Ender's Game.
It's important to note before we dive in that The Hero's Journey goes hand-in-hand with the Chosen One trope, which highlights a character of vital importance to the fate of a people group or nation. This character usually has some sort of unique power, trait, skill, or ability beyond that of the average person that defines them as integral to the plot.
When you consider the Chosen One trope, you may think of characters such as:
Luke Skywalker, who uses the Force to save a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars.
Katniss Everdeen, whose archery skills and uncommon compassion make her the perfect hero in The Hunger Games.
Aragorn, whose destiny as a descendant of Isildur leads him to join the Fellowship, fight to save Middle-Earth, and eventually claim the throne of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings.
Are you eager to write a speculative fiction novel that centers on one character's epic journey? The Hero's Journey may just be the perfect structure to lend power and purpose to your story's plot. Ready to being integrating it into your next novel? Let's get started with today's breakdown!
An Introduction to The Hero's Journey
The Hero's Journey operates as a circular story structure, meaning that the hero's physical journey will end where it began, though their internal journey as a character will leave them forever changed.
This physical journey, in particular, will take your hero from a known world into an unknown one, often introducing them to new powers or skills or encouraging them to utilize known abilities like never before.
With these two functions of The Hero's Journey in mind, it's easy to see how one of the core themes of any Hero's Journey story is transformation. Rarely do such stories feature a flat character arc, in which the protagonist fights to stay true to their beliefs rather than undergoing change as a result of new experiences.
If you aren't prepared to develop your character throughout their journey, I would recommend checking out the 3-Act Story Structure instead. You can catch a breakdown of this story structure here at Well-Storied by clicking here.

Note: Several variations of The Hero's Journey can be found online, some more complex than others. The version outlined here is fairly standard, though tweaked slightly to my tastes and simplified in comparison to Joseph Campbell's original outline.

The story of a hero who was the Hero Of our country India.
Subhash Chandra Bose saga is unforgettable and it deserves millions of appreciation. This hero was the freedom fighter and one of the reasons behind Independence of India.
He established (INA) Indian National Army. He took assistance from Nazi in Germany and Forces from Japan during the World War II and successfully defeated and thrown British rule from India. Our Hero's story is full of accolades. Alas! Our hero disappeared pre-independence in 1945. Thus, the great Hero's journey ended but his valor stories keep him alive in our hearts.
