Writing Archetypal Character Arcs: The Hero's Journey and Beyond
K.M. WeilandReady to take your story’s character arcs and themes to the next
level? This latest book from veteran writing teacher and story theorist
K.M. Weiland ventures far beyond the popular and pervasive Hero’s
Journey to explore six important archetypal character arcs, representing key moments of initiation in the human experience:
- The Maiden
- The Hero
- The Queen
- The King
- The Crone
- The Mage
Found
in every genre from fantasy to drama to romance to adventure, these
transformational stories are the secret of powerhouse fiction—as shown
through a wide variety of real-story examples throughout the book.
Writing Archetypal Character Arcs will teach you:
- The archetypal beats for each of the six journeys
- Which archetypes are right for your particular story
- The best way to use archetypes in a series
- How to choose the right archetypes for supporting characters
- How to use archetypes to identify your story’s theme
You
will also learn how to deepen your stories by implementing shadow
archetypes (the negative sides of each positive archetype), resting or
“flat” archetypes (the fixed stage between each of the main arcs), and
archetypal antagonists (the epic antagonistic forces that oppose each of
the positive archetypes in their journeys). The Hero’s Journey is just
the beginning. Learning about archetypal character arcs will change the
way you view stories—and life—forever.
