Christopher Vogler The Writers Journey
T H E W R I T E R ' S JOURNEY ~ T H I R D EDITION
Christopher Vogler
T h e Hero archetype represents the ego's search for identity and wholeness.
In the process of becoming complete, integrated human beings, we are all Heroes
facing internal guardians, monsters, and helpers. In the quest to explore our own
minds we find teachers, guides, demons, gods, mates, servants, scapegoats, masters,
seducers, betrayers, and allies, as aspects of our personalities and characters in our
dreams. All the villains, tricksters, lovers, friends, and foes of the Hero can be found
inside ourselves. T h e psychological task we all face is to integrate these separate parts
into one complete, balanced entity. T h e ego, the Hero thinking she is separate from
all these parts of herself, must incorporate them to become the Self.
