The monomyth, now more popularly known as the Hero’s Journey, is a common structural pattern that serves as the foundation for countless stories. It has been a basic form of storytelling for as far back as humanity can remember, laying down the plot structure for ancient epics like Gilgamesh and in many of today’s New York Times best sellers and Hollywood blockbusters.
Author’s haven’t always followed the Hero’s Journey structure, knowing that they were doing so.

Since then, The Hero’s Journey has become an essential tool in the writer’s toolbox.
