section Summary
 
 
Joseph Campbell’s Hero Cycle is an idea that anyone can relate to and be able to recognize. There are many stories throughout time that use this in their composition. Stories such as “Little Red Riding Hood” and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz format their structure around it. George Lucas’ Star Wars Trilogy also uses it as the basis of its story. The hero cycle is something that we not only read about, but we experience it in our everyday lives as well. In fiction it is expressed more unrealistically then in reality but both topics still share a common bond. We will discuss the elements of the cycle, how they appear in dozens of stories and tales, and how it finds its way into our everyday lives.
