Hero’s journey in bifurcation diagram
چکیده انگلیسی

The hero’s journey is a narrative structure identified by several authors in comparative studies on folklore and mythology. This storytelling template presents the stages of inner metamorphosis undergone by the protagonist after being called to an adventure. In a simplified version, this journey is divided into three acts separated by two crucial moments. Here we propose a discrete-time dynamical system for representing the protagonist’s evolution. The suffering along the journey is taken as the control parameter of this system. The bifurcation diagram exhibits stationary, periodic and chaotic behaviors. In this diagram, there are transition from fixed point to chaos and transition from limit cycle to fixed point. We found that the values of the control parameter corresponding to these two transitions are in quantitative agreement with the two critical moments of the three-act hero’s journey identified in 10 movies appearing in the list of the 200 worldwide highest-grossing films.


► Hero’s journey is a narrative pattern commonly found in stories about heroes.
► Here, a discrete-time dynamical system is proposed to represent the hero’s journey.
► The attractors of the “hero’s map” can be periodic and chaotic orbits.
► The bifurcation diagram of the “hero’s map” is supported by 10 blockbuster movies.
