The Hero's Journey goes through different moments in someone's life. In 1949 a man named Joseph Campbell shared mythical and archetypal principles with the world. Christopher Vogler has completed all steps of the Hero's Journey. The film The Princess Bride directed by Robert Reiner is based on the book written by William Goldman. In the film Westley the farm boy leaves the farm and goes on an adventure to provide for his true love. Westley is a Campbellion a hero because the story has mythical and archetypal principles and follows most of the twelve stages of the hero's journey. Westley begins his hero's journey with a call to adventure outside his ordinary world. Westley is a country boy, who works for a beautiful girl named Buttercup. The farm is full of animals and orders from Buttercup. The only word Westley says is "As you wish" (The Princess Bride). Westley shows that he loves Buttercup but no longer wants to live on the farm so he can get a better life for them both. When Buttercup realizes that she truly loves Westley and wants to spend the rest of her life with him. Buttercup would tell Westley to do things just so she could say the magic words. “Country boy bring me that jug” (The Princess Bride). This shows that Butercup loved Westley even if she didn't show it, and this would send him on his adventure. Tom Hutchsion expressed in his article that “There is a call to a new experience. This might seem like good or bad news” (Hutchsion, Tom). Westley doesn't refuse the call because he wants to provide a better life for Buttercup. Westley entered his special world by boarding the ship and starting his new life. While on the Dread Pirate ship Roberts keeps Westley on the ship as a passenger and trains him, and he becomes...... middle of paper......and Journey. The Resurrection is who saves Buttercup, and The Return with Elixir all run off into the sunset. This proves that Westley is a hero of Campbellion because he completes most of the stages of the Hero's Journey. Works Cited The Power of Myth (with Bill Moyes).
