Vogler, Christopher. “The Refusal of the Call“, “Meeting with the Mentor”. The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers Third Edition. Studio City, CA: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007.
Summary
Volger elaborated on his explanation of “the refusal of the call“. This is the stage where the hero refuses to go on the adventure, and it can be a quick refusal or a prolonged refusal. The pause between the knowledge of the adventure and the acceptance of it, gives the hero the opportunity to weight the consequences and the choices that they have. The majority of hero’s originally refuse to go on their adventure. Some persistently refuse to go on their adventure, which is a trait of the tragic hero. There can be more then one adventure that a hero is called to go on, and they have to choose between the two. Some refusals of the call are positive, if the adventure is a trap. Heroes that do not refuse the call are known as willing heroes.
Mentors are the archetype that help the heroes prepare for their adventure. All heroes come into contact with a mentor over the course of a story, even if they are not a person. Mentors can be used to trick the audience by defying their archetype. They can truly be evil and try to misguide the hero, and they can have ulterior motives. The relationship between a mentor and a hero does not have to be a good one. Some stories revolve around the teachings of a mentor. While there are mentors in every story, there is no definite traits that they are confined to, except that they provide some sort of guidance for the hero.
Reaction
While there was a little bit of new information in these two sections, they were pretty much nothing more then a repeat of what was stated before. I think the book could have gone without them. The movie examples were helpful. Other then being repetitive, it was good.
Questions
1)Can you name a story that is about a mentor?
2)Can you name a tragic hero?
3)Can you name an example of a story where a hero had to make a choice between two calls and chose the wrong one?
