**Departure **

 * ==**The call to adventure:** == || ==The hero learns that he must accomplish something.== ||
 * ==**Refusal of the call:** == || ==Some heroes try to ignore or refuse the call to adventure.== ||
 * ==**Supernatural aid: **== || ==Heroes receive help from a mentor character or supernatural being, like a wise old man or a fairy godmother== ||
 * ==**Crossing the first threshold:** == || ==The hero meets and must defeat his first roadblock –some sort of guardian to the gates of adventure.== ||

**Initiation/Fulfillment **

 * ==**The road of trials:** == || ==The hero must undergo a series of difficult or near-impossible tasks. In the case of a warrior-hero, he must become a destroyer of evil, a slayer of monsters and dragons.== ||
 * ==**The influence of a woman:** == || ==The hero is usually influenced by a member of the opposite sex, sometimes a mother figure but often a "true love." In this case, the hero must perform difficult tasks to win the girl, who represents the other side of himself (reverse the genders if the hero is female).== ||
 * ==**The father quest:** == || ==The hero goes on a quest, or search, for his father or for the approval of his father. The search for the father is also a search for the adult self.== ||
 * ==**The ultimate reward: **== || ==The hero succeeds and is offered an "ultimate reward," which is often the promise of immortality.== ||

**Return **

 * ==**Return home: **== || ==The hero returns home and shares his success, knowledge, discovery, etc. with the rest of the world.== ||
 * ==**Return motifs (refusal of the return, magic flight, outside help, travel freely) **== || ==The hero returns home and shares his success, knowledge, discovery, etc. with the rest of the world. This can be a smooth and easy or rough and rocky return. Some spiritual heroes try a REFUSAL OF THE RETURN, because they prefer not to rejoin the physical world, but most heroes return by way of a MAGIC FLIGHT of some kind. Some heroes have to have OUTSIDE HELP in order to return, while other TRAVEL FREELY from home to the place of adventure and back.== ||
 * ==**The final departure: **== || =After living out his time on earth, the hero departs, often with the promise of someday returning when he is needed again.= ||
