CHAPTER FIVE

The Initiation

As stated earlier, the “innermost cave” is where the hero faces his toughest challenges thus far; approaching death, but not crossing over. Not the climax of the story, but the crises that marks the mid-point of Act Two.

“The simple secret of the Ordeal is this: Heroes must die so that they can be reborn… In some way in every story, heroes face death or something like it: their greatest fears, the failure of an enterprise, the end of a relationship, the death of an old personality, Most of the time the magically survive this death and are literally or symbolically reborn to reap the consequences of having cheated death. They have passed the main test of being a hero” (Vogler, 155).
