What is the hero's journey?  What parts of the structure stand out and seem the most important to you?

    The hero's journey is an archetype where the protagonist goes on an adventure where they learn a lesson and transform (typically into a more confidence, stronger, person) throughout the story, ultimately being victorious in the end. The article highlights three essential stages in this archetype: the departure, initiation, and return. Some parts of the structure which sticks out most to me are common points such as the "woman as temptress" and "atonement with the father" as they are tropes that I've seen before and feel that they can make for compelling points in the story. As for the most important, I feel that the essential beats such as the reluctance to go on the journey, the struggles of the journey, the transformation, and the return are integral to the archetype and plot. These are what makes the story a here's journey and thus are key for making the story.
