Assimilation

Having defeated the enemy, the hero strips off his armor or tastes the dragon’s blood.

When we face the negative energy that assaults us, we tame and assimilate it — and it empowers us. When you harness or tame these lower powers, you consciously assimilate them and bring them under conscious control. The hero tasting the blood of the dragon he has just slain is a perfect metaphor for our assimilation of these energies. When Marlon Brando endures the beating of the villains at the end of On the Waterfront, he defeats them and gains their power. And that’s another excellent way of illustrating this same thing.
