THE QUEST: Literature based on a journey, a road of trials in which a hero hears a call and leaves his home—alone or in the company of others—to search out a treasure. Along the way he undergoes trials, receives aid, fights enemies and may even die, and, if he succeeds in attaining the treasure sought, may change who and what he is, as well as the community he returns to.

Christopher Vogler, a Hollywood filmmaker, was inspired by Joseph Campbell’s idea of the Monomyth . In his book The Writer’s Journey, he demonstrates how writers can apply this ancient mythic structure to modern film.
