The writer may know how the story turns out, but the struggle of the characters and their uncertainty about the outcome is what makes heroic sagas so memorable. Good post.

When exactly does the 21st century male feel like a hero? What challenge, temptation or experience conquered qualifies as heroic within the diagram you've provided? I am content to have a hero who kills the spiders, tosses the dead birds in the trash or gruffly dismisses the door-to-door salesman. You're on the hero's journey Daron. I suggest that you have reached the "Gift of the Goddess" and are again looking for a great adventure. The best part about middle age, is that the worst is behind you. It's a lot the difference between Sean Connery in James Bond and Sean Connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The polished patina of the years shows in his later work. You, Daron, are in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. How peculiar that we would both select the topic of “hero” this weekend. When exactly does the 21st century male feel like a hero?

Own a huge house, make our first million, become president of a large corporation. Remember that, in the end we can all be the Hero because of Christ. Sometimes our hero quest is simply to raise a wonderful family that will continue on after we are gone. But because of Christ, we can have the hope of eternal life. If that isn't a hero's reward, I don't know what is. Too often, we feel that to be the hero requires measurable success in this life.
