There's Nothing Good Or Bad But Thinking Makes It So...

Far be it for me to contradict my main man Hamlet, aka Hamdog, aka the Hamstermanster, but I think there are some less-good and better ways of bringing Campbell into the analytical essays you're writing. And because my main man Polonius, aka Po-dawg, says, "Brevity is the soul of wit," I'll provide two short examples below. Strive for the better version in your final essay of the year.

Less good:

Hamlet, the most famous of Shakespeare’s plays, is the story of a Danish prince who must avenge his murdered father. The events of this play can be best understood by reading American mythologist Joseph Campbell’s book, The Hero With a Thousand Faces. In “Chapter I: Departure,” section “The Call to Adventure,” Campbell teaches us that the hero may be “drawn into a relationship with forces that are not rightly understood” (51). An example of this would be in Act I, Scene V when Hamlet meets his father’s ghost and learns that his father was murdered by the man who “Now wears his crown” - young Hamlet’s Uncle Claudius (1.5.47).

Better:

Hamlet, the most famous of Shakespeare’s plays, is the story of a Danish prince who must avenge his murdered father. Hamlet first learns that his father was murdered by his own brother, the very man who “Now wears his crown” (1.5.47). This information shakes Hamlet’s world to its foundations, and represents what Joseph Campbell calls in his book The Hero With a Thousand Faces “The Call to Adventure.” Sometimes this call to adventure is a benign invitation, but in the case of Hamlet, he is “drawn into a relationship with forces that are not rightly understood” (51). For Hamlet, not only is the information revealed in the call world-shattering, but the call itself opens his eyes to a level of reality he did not previously know existed and causes him to question the very nature of existence, as well as his own sanity.
