Problem

Title: Monomyth and Superhero, Recycled Themes

Heroes have always been a part of written stories.

Heroes from Greek mythology often had super-human characteristics, but also had fatal flaws, and often met with tragic ends because of these flaws.

The era post World War I and II created comic book heroes that did not seem to have any flaws.

The current super-heroes all seem to be dark heroes - heroes that may not always do acceptable (legal) things, but overall may have good intentions.

One similarity that many hero stories share is the monomyth, or hero's journey!!!!!

Task

1. Discuss how the character of one Hero or Superhero (fictional) reflects the times that they are written.

5. Break down each part of the monomyth.
