So, as a way to spark up some conversation again here, I thought it would be fun to discuss some tropes on a regular basis. You could describe them as the building blocks of writing, and the main reason creativity is dead. Every trope has been used, but what makes them fun is to twist, pull and bop them. Building the avengers tower on the cover of your lego set is fun, but it might be even more fun to build a castle with the blocks you have. So, to start off something I hope to do, here's: The Hero's Journey
The Hero's Journey is a plot archetype; a boiled down version of many stories detailing the bigger plot points. Some very famous examples of the trope are Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Eragon, or even Pokémon. The plot is based explained in three basic steps:
1. Leave your familiar hometown/hobbit hole/ moisture farm
2. Learn to deal with the unfamiliar world that unveiled itself
3. Return to the familiar world, wiser and stronger.
Do you ever build upon the hero's journey, and use to develop a story? Are there any stories that use it that you love? Maybe your favorite stories consist of other plot archetypes? Any remarks are welcome!
