    What trials unite not only Harry Potter or Frodo Baggins but many of literature's most interesting heroes? And what do ordinary people have in common with these literary heroes? Matthew Winkler takes us step-by-step through the crucial events that make or break a hero.

    Other things I've learned to make a good hero:
    1.- Never make it perfect. Imperfect characters are the most perfect for any story. This gives you a wide screen to make them grow and learn new things as they chase their motivations.
    2.- Make them lose or fail at one point: If we all learn from our very own mistakes and failures, then why not heroes? This tips can let you develop them as you write the story.

    One of my favourite types of hero is them being less of a hero and more of a protagonist, where there actions there doing aren’t necessarily good or bad, kind of a mix of the two. I really like it when fiction blurs the line between hero and villian in order to question you or change who is the villian and who is the hero

      Nice idea but in a zero sum game, whatever you win, someone else looses, who are you to decide who deserves to win? You can't maximise and minimise a value at the same time, and that's taking an analytical approach. In practical terms, most people can't agree on what is the right reason even less can agree on the right action.

    I’ve seen many hero movies and I’ve noticed two types of heroes and journeys.
    First type of hero is someone having extraordinary powers which he/she uses for the good of the crowd.
    Second type doesn’t have anything special and struggles to find it but is extremely motivated to help others. In turn people start helping that person and with the help of others that person becomes the hero that he/she always wanted to be.

Only the one face their deepest darkest fear shall be worthy to gain great strength. And they are gonna be stronger no matter how many failures they met. Those failures will be the best teachers of the heroes. What they cut down is the weaker , earlier themselves but not their enemy.

    A hero is the one who steps up to the plate without being asked.
    A hero is the one who does their best to make the right decision.
    A hero is the one who learns to live with the wrong ones and moves on.
    A hero is not always the strongest, the smartest, or the bravest.
    But a hero is the one that will stand by your side.
    Through thick and thin.
    A hero will bring you food when you are hungry or drink when you are thirsty.
    When you are sick a hero will tell you you will be better soon.
    And when you are about to take your last breath.
    A hero will hold your hand and say goodbye.

    This video skips a crucial part of the hero's journey: refusal of the call. The hero refuses the call to adventure initially. You might think this step is skippable but it is not. Refusal of the call is huge in making or breaking the hero. Either they fully succumb to fear and fail to go to the special world, or their mentor helps them to accept their fears and continue anyway.

    • @Immersible_
      @Immersible_ 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That sounds a lot like premature angst before finally just getting on with the adventure. lol
      If it matters by character development, then its characterization. Therefore, not included in a specifically story-driven formula such as the one shown in the video.

    • @ordinarytree4678
      @ordinarytree4678 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Immersible But if its happening to the main character, isn't it an important part of the story? Sure, its a temporary situation, but every story with the hero's journey has to address the hero's anxieties at some point. We won't connect with the character as well otherwise.

    • @Immersible_
      @Immersible_ 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Noah MacGillivray Like how other literary elements have its own categories, characterization and plot development are two completely separate concepts. Even though they might intertwine and come from the same source, they are still separate.
      Btw did you know, there are ways to tell a hero story without learning a single thing about the main character? ;3

    • @ordinarytree4678
      @ordinarytree4678 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Alright, I see your point. Personally I prefer to see the hero's concerns and fears because it makes the story seem realistic, but I can see where it might not be necessary.

    " If you practice it well, it will be easy", they said.
    I listen, taking note of all the important thing they teach.
    I learn, by asking lots of question I don't understand.
    I sacrifice the nights, the hookups, the chats and my mental health to practice.
    I practice and practice, till I become too exhaustive to practice again.

    I quickly revised everything I have learned to make sure I didn't left anything.
    And the test was given.
    "Where should I start?"
    "How should I approach this?"
    "Is this meant for me?"
    I questioned, knowing very well I will not get a response.
    "You have 15 cycles" they said.
    Knowing how quick the cycle is I started solving the test, without even measuring if it will be enough.
    But before I could even finish a quarter of my task, I heard "The circles have ended"
    "WHAATT!" I screamed, "but the circles are not enough!".
    "I am good enough?"
    "Why didn't I practice more?"
    "I am even fit for this?"
    "Shouldn't I just run?"
    I questioned myself, all while the imposter syndrome increases, all while I am breaking inside.
    "Is this really the test?, or is my reaction after it the test?" I questioned myself again, knowing very well the first question is the answer.
    "We shall see the outcome" I said knowing very well I did my best.

    A real hero is someone not expecting a reward, doing an act that others wouldn't do l, or not have the courage to do, they are people who can't have happyness because they suffer so that people don't have to and I believe that a hero who saves us, would be saved in return

    It's December, so this video reminds me why Frank Capra's hero of George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" is so great, he's a hero who actually wants to go on a great adventure but doesn't, rather he chooses/sacrifices his dreams of adventure to stay home and help his community. Ultimately he is a hero, not because of doing a bunch of extraordinary things, but by doing "ordinary things" extraordinarily well -i.e. being a good husband, father, and an ethical local banker. We seem to be always searching for one great superhero when all we really need is just a lot more George and Mary Bailey's...a search that should be more realistic I hope.

      Broockle There something wrong with you? (Wait, I know the answer to that; YES.) Racist? Against something that doesn't exist? No matter the species, dumbass, in fiction they are entwined with human qualities - and by qualities, I mean personalities and ideology, not overly hairy feet. So you would call it "human." Not person, which implies nothing other than you're not an non-personified rock.

      Broockle You think hobbits are real and living on another planet? I thought your kind stopped believing in stuff like that at age 12. I'm talking about FICTION, dumbass. There's no other known species as intelligent as ours. Hate to burst your bubble, but we haven't met any intelligent aliens yet, nor have they made contact with us. (I'm expecting you'll retort an alien conspiracy here, right?) So, when discussing FICTION, everything is based on HUMAN characteristics. Because HUMANS are the only intelligent species we can base upon. (Ooo, now are you going make a retort about - insert animal here - being intelligent even though I'm CLEARLY talking about advancement, not the ability to eat food and detect enemies?)

    What makes a VILLAIN:
    Just like the hero, starts at status quo. Second, realization: an event changes the way they see their world, makes them see only the horrible things. Come to the conclusion that violence is the answer to their new found hatred. Third, preparation: He learns a new power,(he learns magic, gains followers etc.)that he will use to change the world. Fourth, reveal: he shows his new power to the world, through actions, threats, or maybe he challenges an authority figure, or protector. Fifth, demonstration: he shows the world he's no joke by destroying something, maybe he defeats the hero. The demonstration can also act as the reveal, or can come beforehand. Sixth, trials: the villain and hero constantly clash, sometimes one of them wins, but doesn't kill the other. Seventh, great battle: at this stage, the villain and hero know each other more than they know themselves. This can span anywhere from a few hours, to a few years. Final, result: he may win or lose, but one dies, and the other gets their way.

      @1D-18 Sze Hong Yiu Sophie Sometimes you must die inside and lost every fluke of yourself to became a better person. Its your core, your essence that changes and that must be nurtured without any traces of you left behind. A person only can be a real better person when he or she understand that everything, every belief, everything she stands for might not be right and then, discard these things.

  • @dominikrisse8099

    Disheartened halls of wretched glory
    We stretch our wings in cold despair
    The safety of the hearth is holy
    Protects us from the midnight air
    How often have we heard the ballad
    The bards have sung of certain threat
    How often have we dreamt of peril
    Afraid of subsequent regret
    Today shall be the day, we whisper
    To free us from this panicked state
    But in the face of all the horrors
    We doubt ourselves, we hesitate
    Don't go alone, take courage with you
    A voice within and yet so far
    Resolve the echo of the aeons
    The chaos of the dancing star
    Soon starts the journey up the mountain
    For years on end it seems to last
    And as we struggle to its summit
    The Future turns back to the Past
    Alas begins the fight to climb back
    Endurance our biggest aid
    But once disposed of all that binds us
    The triumph withers, starts to fade
    For now the entrance is upon us
    That leads into the place we dread
    Our demons greet us from its darkness
    Formed by the fears that we once fed
    A coward would reject this treasure
    A hero stare into abyss
    Prepared to die, accepting failure
    We take the leap, follow our bliss
    The moment we have slain the dragon
    The second we can claim reward
    Confusion seeps into our passion
    Should we withdraw or seize the sword
    A long and weary road ahead
    More gruesome as the one behind
    With careful steps we're tracing strides
    Our eyes wide open, yet so blind
    Thus ends the journey and our lives
    And with them our desire
    The cups filled till the brim with joy
    Our bellies full of fire
    To share divine complexity
    Death favors sweet release
    Until the day we rise again
    Allowing us to Rest in Peace
