    Campbell and others who take the psychological approach to myth, see the heroic monomyth as a universal mirror of the individual human’s psychological journey through life from birth to individuation, or wholeness. The miraculous conception and birth of the hero speak to the awakening in our lives to the quest for Self and wholeness that lies ahead. The quest itself happens to be the process by which the hero, representing the psychological voyager, and to move beyond personal and historical limitations.

    Western and nonwestern heroes come from different regions of the world; therefore, have different cultural backgrounds. More specifically, western heroes come from the Greco-Roman or Judeo-Christian traditions. Nonwestern heroes come from other parts of the world that would not associate with these traditions. While these heroes might seem to have little in common when it comes to origin, “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell demonstrates that all heroes have “similar patterns” (Campbell). However by examining the non-western hero, Mulan, in “The Ballad of Mulan” demonstrates how this figure is different than the hero outlined in Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey” in the following ways, Mulan does not have any kind of “supernatural aid”, “tests that lead to the final showdown”, or a “life-changing experience for her or many others” (Campbell).…

    Vampires are known as an opposite figure and on the one hand an immune blood-sucking figure that crawls out of the grave, and is also an abnormally strong representation of the night's activity. The thought and image of vampirism terrifies and excites in a believably equal amount. Nowadays all of the vampire knowledge and information came from the famous novel written about vampires known as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, that was published in 1897. (Victorian vampires) (JOURNALS)…

A hero can be whatever a person sees and perceives whichever meaning they would associate to the word ̈Hero ̈.

It focuses on the many archetype of a heros , and the different characteristics they have. ̈ A hero is someone who has given his or her life for something bigger than oneself ̈ (151) would be the perfect example of archetype..…

    The concept of a dead person returning in his living physical form and feeding on the living is considered a vampire. The vampire is believed to also be capable of transmitting his vampirism to those he infect or bite. Kayton recognizes that though this belief has been found in early writings of the Babylonians, Semites, and Egyptians, the most famous vampire scare swept Europe in 1730. This vampire epidemic lasted approximately five years (305).…

    Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures, and in spite of speculation by literary historian Brian Frost that the "belief in vampires and bloodsucking demons is as old as man himself", and may go back to "prehistoric times",[7] the term vampire was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[8] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.…
