Hi. Here's your study guide. There will be two parts to the exam: a multiple choice exam and an essay exam. For the multiple choice exam, focus on the following concepts: the stages of the hero, words and wisdom of Joseph Campbell and Harold Bloom, the monomyth, character archetypes and literary motifs we studied, and types of leads and conclusions we studied.
For the essay exam, you will be given one of the following five options at random. You may use one page of notes (front and back), that you will hand in with your exam. Your notes may only pertain to the prompts, not to other concepts.
Options:
1. Analyze how several heroes from the texts we studied were haunted by ghosts – either literal or metaphorical.
2. Analyze how several heroes from the texts we studied were concerned that they not leave behind “a wounded name.”
3. Analyze the role memory plays in the texts we studied this semester.
4. Analyze to what extent several of the texts we read fit the pattern of the monomyth.
5. Analyze to what extent several heroes from the texts we studied fit the pattern of the four stages of the hero.
