#JON SNOW GAME OF THRONES TV#
This article deals only with the TV show version, which means the book stories and characters have been altered-telescoped, pared down, and folded into each other in a variety of ways. Please note what we are looking at here is how the Hero’s Journey fits the Jon Snow character as he is presented in Game of Thrones, NOT in A Song of Ice and Fire. In his book, The Writer’s Journey, screenwriter Christopher Vogler distilled Campbell’s 17-stage monomyth down into a more modern and manageable 12-stage model, and we will occasionally refer to this more streamlined version as well. It is important to remember that the Campbellian Hero’s Journey is highly flexible, so not all stages need appear in order or appear at all, while some events can encompass many stages. It provides a nice visual touchstone despite incorrect spelling and some finance-influenced descriptions of the stages. The Royal Society of Account Planning created a lovely Monomyth chart below (the journey tracks counter-clockwise).

These parts house 17 stages: (Part I): The Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call, Supernatural Aid, The Crossing of the First Threshold, The Belly of the Whale (Part II): The Road of Trials, The Meeting with the Goddess, Woman as the Temptress, Atonement with the Father, Apotheosis, The Ultimate Boon (Part III): Refusal of the Return, The Magic Flight, Rescue from Without, The Crossing of the Return Threshold, Master of Two Worlds, and Freedom to Live. The monomyth model is divided into three Parts: Departure, Initiation, and Return. “A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from his mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons upon his fellow man.”-Joseph Campbell Joseph Campbell sums up the monomyth concept here: The pattern is easy for us to understand because we are already familiar with the voyages of our favorite literary heroes. What is the Hero’s Journey? It’s a basic narrative pattern common across cultures and time that seems to be shared by all heroic characters. In this article, we will compare Jon’s Snow’s journey through Game of Thrones to Campbell’s monomyth paradigm and attempt to answer three questions: first, does Jon Snow’s journey fit into the monomyth at all? Second, if Jon Snow’s journey fits, how closely does it mirror the traditional experience of the Campbellian Hero? Third-and this is the BIG question-if Jon Snow is still alive, what clues can the monomyth offer us about his character’s future in season 6 and beyond? But what is the hero’s journey, exactly? The mythologist Joseph Campbell designed a paradigm to identify the stages of the Hero’s Journey, also known as the monomyth. Yet by most instinctive measures it doesn’t feel like Jon Snow has won anything yet, because it doesn’t feel like his journey is finished. The character of Jon Snow fits the archetype of the classic hero.
