The myth of the hero seems to be the only literary storyline many people can think of today. It even shapes our view of society. So together with Kevin P. Keating I revisited Joseph Campbell's work. Was he misunderstood? Or was his theory of the #monomyth flawed? https://youtu.be/1F7d0AZ5paA

One more time: the #Monomyth would argue it's perfectly possible to understand Darth Vader and a corrupt Roman statesman (as portrayed by an ancient Roman author) as *the same tyranny.* It's not just that it can't tell us the difference - we are taught to willfully ignore how Roman authors portrayed evil, and instead to look for the archetypes and symbols that supersede the text.
We can't understand the nature of this resurgence without also understanding the ongoing discussions about gender roles. Bringing more and more topics to the table to explore why last year's #Tiktok trend was a different historical moment from those that came before is antithetical to the #Monomyth.
When Campbell wrote, "there is no final system for the interpretation of myths," whatever his intention, what has manifested in the #Monomyth is its structural opposite - *"there is no alternative for the interpretation of stories."* You can break or subvert every trope in the Monomyth's cycle, and its photo negative, its afterimage, yet stains your eyelids. It insists upon itself that it's impossible for the psyche to come up with anything different.

Then there's Campbell's influences. For instance, we know he combined Freudian psychoanalysis with Carl Jung's archetypes and collective unconscious theory. The result, applied to myths and storytelling, is the #Monomyth. Jung, likewise, was a progeny of Freud's work, and, like many conservatives post-WW2, heavily influenced by the works of Irish philosopher Edmund Burke:

Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke (1729–1797) was an Irish political philosopher, writer, parliamentarian and intellectual champion of the anti-Jacobin movement in revolutionary Europe. He changed his views often throughout his life, veering from classical liberalism to traditionalist conservatism. Therefore, he is claimed by people on both the left- and right-wings as one of their own.
