188+ Stages of the Hero's Journey (Monomyth, Screenwriting) - No Going Back
FORWARD
The 188 phase Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the templet upon which the huge bulk of successful narratives and Film Industry blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the 100s of Film Industry movies we have got deconstructed (see uniform resource locator below) are based on this 188+ phase template.
Understanding this templet is a precedence for narrative or screenwriters. This is the templet you must get the hang if you are to win in the craft.
[The nomenclature is most often metaphorical and uses to all successful narratives and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hallway (1977) to Godhead of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].
THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY
THE 188 phase HERO'S journey affects a figure of major phases, including:
a) The reaching from Another World into an Ordinary World.
b) The Ordinary Self, that have come up about as a consequence of being in the Ordinary World.
c) The encouragement from the Ordinary World into a New World.
d) The gradual dissolving of the Old Self.
e) The becoming of the New Self.
f) The thrusting away from the New Self and New World.
g) The confrontation with challenges.
h) The mastering of the Old and New Worlds and Selves.

ABRIDGED TIPS, excerpts AND EXAMPLES:
PAST THE abdomen OF THE WHALE, there IS NO departure BACK
The Abdomen of the Giant is a word form of Netherworld, a topographic point of transit. The Hero is past his (or her) Old Self (following the Transformations that have got been engaged in, in the First Threshold), yet s/he have not embarked upon the deeper Transformations (that Pb to the New Self), which will happen during the Road of Trials and beyond.
One component of the Abdomen of the Giant phase of the Hero's Journey, is the denial of an option to go back to the Ordinary World and the Ordinary Self. Beyond this point, there is No Going Back.
In The Matrix (1999), Neo have got a pick between the reddish and bluish pills.
In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Child (1969), Butch and Sundance larn that the posse comitatus is ordered not to halt until they are dead.
In Brokeback Mountain (2005), once Ennis and Jack Turn have had sex, there is no manner back. It is something that cannot be undone.
