| dc.description.abstract | This research purposes to find the hero’s struggle and the hero’s journey
that appeared in Arthur’s journey. In this research, the researcher analyzed one of
the characters from the Aquaman movie. In specific, a character, named Arthur Curry,
was analyzed through the hero’s journey theory. The data were analyzed with the
hero’s struggle theory by George R. Goethals and Scott T. Allison, as a theory, and
hero’s journey theory by Joseph Campbel, as another theory. The data were
generated from the actions and dialogues from movie script and Arthur's struggle
through his journey to become a hero. In conclusion, the research revealed that
Arthur experienced all three struggles that mentioned by Goethals and Allison,
those are struggle for something with reason, struggle to fight their weakness, and
struggle to face the very evil. It also matched ten stages from seventeen stages of
hero’s journey by Joseph Campbell and those are the call to adventure, refusal of the
call, supernatural aid, the crossing of the first threshold, the belly of the whale, the
road of trials, atonement with the father, apotheosis, the ultimate boon, and the
crossing of the return threshold. The conclusion that can be drawn is that although
there are several stages that Arthur did not go through, his struggle in the story can
be considered as a hero’s journey because he succeeded in achieving his goals. | en_US |
