Three-Act Structure and Monomyth Concepts

The video explores Joseph Campbell's Monomyth theory, also known as the Hero's Journey, which outlines a universal narrative structure found in myths and stories. It breaks down the journey into three acts: Departure, Initiation, and Return, further divided into 17 stages. The video connects this structure to the modern three-act structure used in movies, explaining each act's role in storytelling. Act One introduces the hero and the inciting incident, Act Two covers the hero's confrontation with challenges, and Act Three resolves the story with a final battle and a new normal.
