Myth: Archetypes and Hero's Journey

Write me two paragraphs: one focusing on how a single archetype is used in the Pilot; one on how a step in the Hero's Journey is used in the Pilot.

The Hero's Journey

  • Leaves Home/Receives Quest
  • Meets Company
  • Faces Trials
  • Separates from Company
  • Final Trial: Win, Lose, or Die

Grimm Pilot

  • Nick Berkhart (Grimm/police): hero, anti-hero, warrior
  • Aunt Marie (Grimm/librarian): mentor, gatekeeper, warrior
  • Juliet (Nick's gf/vetrinarian): best friend?, rational love interest?
  • Hank (bff/police partner): warrior, best friend?
  • Sargent Wu (police): warrior, shadow (everyman)
  • Captain Reynard (police): warrior, trickster, villain??
  • Monroe (werewolf/clock maker): warrior, thief (reformed), mentor, shadow

The Journey So Far

  • Leaves Home/Receives Quest: Aunt Marie's dying, tells Nick to leave Juliet OR girls are being killed/kidnapped and a little girl has just been taken
  • Meets Company: all the peeps
  • Faces Trials: find the "big bad wolf" and save the little girl, trusting Monroe, finding the mailman, asking Hank for backup

Terms

  • Wesen: people who are shapeshifters
  • Grimm's: supernatural enforcers/killers
  • Volga: to shapeshift
