One often missed element of the Complete 188+ stage Hero's Journey Plot is the stage of the REBELLION.
Once the Hero has received the Call to Adventure and following the Refusals and Interdictions, the Hero is stalled and undergoes frustration during his (or her) Period of Desolation.
Two alternatives push the Hero past his (or her) Period of Desolation.
a) The Trivial Task. We are familiar with this from our fairtytales: "go fetch a pale of water," "go to market and get a fair price for these pigs," "take this cake to Grandma..."
b) Rebellion. The Hero rebells against his (or her) interdictors and pushes past them, pushing himself along the path of the Journey and the Transformation. For example, in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), although his father forbids it, Zach walks out of the door and into the Navy.
