Hjälteresan genom tid och myt: En jämförelse av moderna filmer genom monomyten : En undersökning av hur filmer från dagens tid återspeglar och omformar klassisk mytologi genom monomytenKaki, Shaho January 2023 (has links)
This thesis will look at the adaptation and transformation of classic mythology in modern movies through the lens of Joseph Campbells’s monomyth or “The Hero’s Journey.” The study delves into how contemporary films, like “Gods of Egypt,” “Clash of the Titans,” “Man of Steel,” and “The Wolverine,” utilize this archetypal narrative structure to craft the modern myths that resonate with the modern audiences. This thesis argues that the monomyth remains a fundamental narrative framwork within the contemporary film culture, adeptly adapted and reimagined to fit the modern storytelling sensibilities. By using qualitative methods, the study conducts a detailed analysis of selected film, identifying the stages of the Hero’s Journey and their alignment with classic mythology. The work of Hafçı and Erbay Aslıtürk in “Superheroes: Myth of Modern Age” and James J. Clauss’s “A Course on Classic Mythology in Film” is employed to contextualize the discussion within the broader scope of mythological influence in movies. These sources provide the necessary insight into how mythological heroes, often characterized by supernatural powers, reflect their cultural context, including social, sociological, and emotional states. Not only that but this thesis also considers Campbell’s book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces,” using its outlined 17 steps of the Hero’s Journey as a key analytical tool. The thesis aims to demonstrate the enduring relevance of mythology in the modern era, by showing how classical mythologies are not merely historical artifacts but continue to evolve and integrate into contemporary popular culture. So, I there for seek to reveal the mythological storytelling, while rooted in ancient traditions, remains a vibrant and influential force in shaping modern movies narrative.
