Christopher Vogler The Writers Journey
MULTIPLE ALLIES
Heroes on great epic journeys may acquire whole ship-loads of Allies, building up a
team of adventurers, each with his or her different skill. Odysseus has his shipmates
and Jason has his Argonauts. In the British Isles, King Arthur, beginning with his
foster-brother Sir Kay, attracts a small army of Allies, the Knights of the Round
Table. In France, Charlemagne gathers a similar band of Ally knights from all the
nations of his empire who become known as his Paladins. Dorothy picks up a series
of Allies on her quest, starting with her animal Ally Toto.
GREAT ALLIES IN LITERATURE
Some great stories have been woven from the relationship between a hero and an Ally.
Don Quixote and his reluctant squire Sancho Panza form one such pair, representing
two extremes of society and very different ways of viewing the world. Shakespeare
often employs Allies like Lear's Fool or Prince Hal's riotous companion Falstaff
