Hero's Journey (Monomyth): Rebirth post a Near Death Experience

Rebirth post a Near Death Death Experience

One critical stage of the Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the rebirth - which ALWAYS occurs post a near death experience. This can be seen in all of the successful stories of our time. For example:

In An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), Zack Maya is beaten to near death by Sgt. Foley � this happens in the martial arts gym, which is representative of Zacks old world � and it happens after his argument with Paula.

In Al Pacino Scarface (1983), Elvira tempts Tony down this path with the words �I don�t sleep with the help.� This encourages Tony to claim the throne.

In Unforgiven (1992), the Sheriff beats Clint Eastwood to a pulp � in the bar that is, in effect �his territory.�
