Comparing Homer's Oddyssey, Rocky, And Starwars

As with Joseph Campbell, the monomyth pattern is seen in many movies and books. Stories in which the protagonist goes through struggles that are often unfair, but through hard work and faith they prevail and come out on top. They get knocked down, but they get back up. Three stories that repear this plot are Homer’s Oddyssey, Rocky, and Starwars. In Odyssey, Oddyseus is a leader of a tough war against the Trojans, where he comes out victorious. On his travels home he encounters countless obstacles that he uses wit and faith in his gods to overcome. He ends up happily reunited with his family and lives happily ever after. In Rocky, the main character is Rocky Balboa, who is a struggling boxer who is quickly growing too old for the sport.
