MODERATORS
Read "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell. Myths repeat through cultures and influence every story that follows. We're constantly recycling
Campbells work has been debunked by a lot of researchers, not only it cherry picks data; it pushed the lie that his little structure is universal while ignoring a lot of cultures and and traditional story structures that pay no attention to it. It is a very popular story structure in the mainstream west because it is very manipulative towards the audience. It is great for selling an unambiguous product. Frank Herbert hated Campbell to mention a modern author; The Dune novels have thematic elements that go against the hero's journey on purpose.
Campbell's work is valuable and interesting, but I like it better as a lens for modern media rather than as some grand unified theory of human culture.
