The | Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Okru 2021

The concept of the hero's journey, coined by Joseph Campbell, is a universal theme that transcends cultures and time. In "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving hobbit, embarks on an unexpected journey that transforms him into a hero. According to Campbell, the hero's journey involves stages such as the call to adventure, meeting mentors, and facing challenges (Campbell, 1949). Bilbo's journey in the film mirrors these stages, as he receives the call to adventure from Gandalf, meets Radagast as his mentor, and faces trolls, goblins, and other obstacles.
