The way we shape our stories is fascinating but there is no reason to conclude that we are born with a certain pattern hard-wired into us. Children start out telling stories that have no structure and slowly learn how a story is expected to go.
Countless writers have tackled the idea of the Hero's Journey. My favourite is Vladimir Propp's (who based his ideas on Russian folk-tales and never claimed universality) Morphology of the Folk Tale (1928).

I've been thinking a lot about the #ChosenOne #archetype, also known as the #Monomyth and the #HerosJourney.
My inspiration is a "#WitchPlease" #podcast episode:

The hosts posit that this archetype is not universal in #storytelling. Instead, they say that is a specifically #white, #straight, #male #construct.
What do you think?
