You have to Break the Rules if you want a Story!

New moral "Talk to Strangers"

When we talked about how every one is drawn to adventure it was neat to see how many movies and stories consist of people being forced into an adventure. The one example that came to me was Frodo in The Lord Of The Rings. Throughout the movie you can easily identify the three elements of the Universal Quest. He is Separated from his family and forced to leave the Shire. He then has to accept the task of holding the ring and through his painful Initiation he proves himself worthy. Finally after his grueling journey he is able to Return home and live safely with his family, changed by his heroic adventure.

Since this is such a long complex story almost every Archetypal hero is also seen, The Hero, The Mentor, The Trickster, ect. I think that Lord of the Rings is a great example.
