In the modern television series Teen Wolf, the main protagonist Scott McCall goes through a process of personal growth that corresponds to the hero's journey described by Joseph Campbell. The hero's journey, or monomyth, is the sequence of events or situations that bring about a transformation within a character, taking them out of their ordinary life and placing them at the pinnacle of extraordinary life. Chris Vogler, a contemporary of Joseph Campbell, states: “. . .[the hero's journey] is as infinitely varied as the human race itself; and yet its fundamental form remains the same. . .” There is always a departure, an initiation and a return. Departure includes the first five stages of the journey: introduction of the character into his ordinary life, character's call to adventure, refusal of the call (by the character or one of his associates), meeting of the character with a mentor (who will guide them throughout the journey) and cross the first threshold from the ordinary world to the special world. Initiation consists of the following four stages: character testing and introduction of enemies/allies, approach to the place of prime importance, the ultimate test (usually facing death), and taking the sword or reward of the character. The return is composed of the last three stages: the path of return (during which the character leaves the special world for his normal life), the resurrection or transformation caused by past events and, finally, the return with the elixir or the arriving home with some kind of treasure or blessing for humanity. Scott McCall, like all the characters on the journey, goes through these same phases. Consistent with many other famous journeys, his influence is more of a supernatural nature....... middle of paper ...... between after his return and before his call is that he now has a small fur problem every time month.In Laurence Coupe's article "The Hero's Journey", he says: ". . .the pattern [the hero's journey] bequeathed to the narration was threefold: departure, struggle, return. . .” The same pattern can be seen in Scott McCall's transformation as a character after being bitten by a werewolf. He goes through the same stages as any other hero, although they aren't in exactly the same order. His journey is also more of an internal evolution than an external struggle. Although he gets involved in all sorts of adventurous situations, his explicit reward is simply self-acceptance. However, Scott McCall, in the modern television series Teen Wolf, is still able to prove that all stories in the world are the same, with slight variations in culture and time..
