ask you How does the hero transform in campbell's mon

00:14

amis it's really a very individualistic idea of sort of

00:19

human development But campbell's just really invested in this notion

00:23

that all stories are about one person sort of confronting

00:27

life's challenges yellow vanquishing them and then that changing them

00:33

00:52
