: : I have just read Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces." This book details the pattern in a journey of a hero throughout different cultures in myths and things. I know that Lucas used some of Campbell's ideas for the "Star Wars" movies, but does Indy fit the hero pattern?

: While Indy's a hero, I don't think he fits the pattern. In fact, he goes against the pattern by reconsiling with his father rather than killing him. Of course, Indy's forte is the quest...

: PS It's nice to see folks still reading Campbell.

My anthro teacher keeps telling me to read his "Mask of God" series (or is it just one book?). I think I'll take this opportunity to get started on it!
P.S. Yeah, I know this isn't what you expected - an "intelligent" 'nim'!
