Abstract:
The thesis analyses Jane Eyre, from Charalotte Brönte's novel with the same name, and Feyre Archeron from Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses to see if they complete the hero's journey, described by the seventeen stages in Joseph Campbell's theory of the Monomyth from his book The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The analysis is divided by the three phases suggested by Campbell, in which each has a different amount of stages that the heroines must follow in order to be considred Archetypal heroines. The analysis suggests, that both heroines are Arctehypal as they follow almost all the stages, and most importantly, they go through the three phases. It also showcases the differences and similarities amongst this heroines, as they belong to different genres and the novels where written in different periods.
