Character Archetypes Series: #3 Mentor
In the third article of Character Archetypes Series, we talk about Mentor.
To do this, let us resume our Hero’s Journey.
Our Hero, whom we talked about extensively in the previous article, has now just passed the third phase also called “Refusal of the Call”. Being faced with a difficult situation, he initially refuses to understand or undertake the physical journey.
It is precisely at this moment, in this fourth phase called “the Meeting with the Mentor” that he meets one of the most important characters for him and for the journey itself: the Mentor.
The Mentor acts as a compass for the Hero, advises him and guides him through the narrative.
