David Campbell's Four Function Of Myth

Psychological function achieves an idea of how one lives their life in order to satisfy the surroundings or oneself. In Campbell’s fourth function of myth, he asserts that “ In our world, we ask for the development of the individual’s critical faculties, that one should evaluate and then contribute criticism which doesn't mean to blow it up or means blowing it up before finding it..” In the film a whale was the symbol of rebirth like the circumstances believed it to be as one. Pai was always there to make the culture be alive and for that she even risked her life. When Pai said, “ I wasn't scared to die”(Whale). This shows how she climbed upon the whale and rode the whale “literally” to save the dying culture of maori. Even when she was a
girl she didn't fear her life and was there to break the stereotypical barrier of males being superior.
