This work focuses on the popularity of the hero story by analyzing “The Hobbit” according to archetypical theory as described by Carl Jung and exploring how the images buried deep in our collective unconscious promote resonance.
The hero in a story can take on many forms. He can be a man, a woman, a child, or some other sort of creature. He can be of divine nature, human, or a combination of the two. He can be an actual historical figure or even entirely fictional. He can be an epic hero that everyone expects to succeed, but he can also be considered an unlikely candidate for an adventure of the magnitude that only a true hero has the ability to accomplish. No matter the form, the hero is chosen to take an adventure that will change the fate of his tribe, nation, world, or even universe and most of all change himself in ways he did not deem possible.
