  • The villain, his or her characteristics, and role in the hero’s quest

  • Other archetypes within the story and a brief description of their roles in the hero’s quest

  • Detailed description of each stage of the hero’s quest: initiation, separation, transformation, and return

  • Research about the mythological and cultural origins of the story; explain parallels between the myth(s) and the contemporary story it inspired

  • Analysis of any mythological symbolism, metaphors, and attributes pertinent to the story. What real life elements might these items represent?
