The Eight Character Archetypes of the Hero’s Journey

The Eight Character Archetypes of the Hero’s Journey

February 7th, 2014 by Chris Winkle

The shapeshifter blurs the line between ally and enemy.

Regardless, they provide a tantalizing combination of appeal and possible danger. Shapeshifters benefit stories by creating interesting relationships among the characters, and by adding tension to scenes filled with allies.

Elsa as someone who felt alone and doomed because of her powers, and how she carried the guilt with the possibility of accidentally hurt someone she loved - her sister, Anna.

'The art of Disney's frozen'

'The art of Disney's frozen'
by Charles solomon

'The king and queen forbade Elsa to see Anna, and the life the girls had shared became a series of closed doors- doors they both wanted to open.
'Elsa knew they had been separated to protect Anna, but Anna didn't understand why her sister said no whenever she suggested doing something together.'

'After the death of their parents, the sisters grew further apart.'

'The film became an exploration of the special bond sisters share, a bond that can transcend years of separation and misunderstanding.'  p.13

'Elsa was going to be the complete antagonist'
'they kept calling her the villain, but there came a point we couldn't call her that anymore'.

'you care about some one who's been forced to hide who they are'.
'Elsa is not a villain, she just makes some bad choices because she's in a very difficult situation. '

'Elsa became more of the yin to Anna's yang'

'Its about the two sisters saving each other; its their broken relationship, and how they repair it.'
P.14


'I love Elsa, because we can make her cold and distant, but our hearts will still go out to her, We'll know she's living in a prison she can't share with anybody. Theres some pretty deep themes that come with not being able to admit who you are   for fear how people will react- Chris William, story board artist' p. 137

"Character Flaws"

"Character Flaws"
by Mark O'Bannon
'In many ways, a story is a way to experience emotions through other people - the characters in your story. Every story runs along two separate tracks: The SPINE of the story, and the HEART of the story. One is about the DESIRE of the character, the other is about the NEED of the character. One track deals with the OUTER MOTIVATION, the other deals with INNER MOTIVATION.'

'Emotional storytelling is all about the NEED of the character. The need describes how the character is broken at the beginning of the story. The need to change forms the basis of the character arc. The need comes from a main character flaw, or a weakness.'

'There are two kinds of character flaws:
A Psychological Weakness - This is a character trait within the hero which is destorying his life. Think of pride, cowardice, vengeance, and distrust. 

A Moral Weakness - This is a character flaw that harms the main character and also other people. So when designing a flaw for your hero, ask yourself, "How is this harming other people?" and "How is the hero living at the expense of others?"' 

'The way to create a hypnotic-like attraction for the characters in your story, give your hero character flaws. Use this weakness as the basis of the entire emotional story.'

'We all love seeing broken characters overcome their flaws.'

Disney producer reveals how Frozen could have ended VERY differently

Disney producer reveals how Frozen could have ended VERY differently

Katie Baillie for Metro.co.ukThursday 30 Mar 2017 9:43 a

‘So Anna was not a princess. Elsa was a self-proclaimed Snow Queen, but she was a villain and pure evil — much more like the Hans Christian Andersen tale,’ the Frozen producer continued.

We started out with an evil female villain and an innocent female heroine and the ending involved a big epic battle with snow monsters that Elsa had created as her army.’

We learn Elsa is a scorned woman; she was stood up (by Hans) at the altar on her wedding day and froze her own heart so she would never love again.

We had no emotional connection to Elsa — we didn’t care about her because she had spent the whole movie being the villain. We weren’t drawn in. The characters weren’t relatable.’

Anna all about love and Elsa all about fear.’

That led to making Elsa a much more dimensional sympathetic character, and instead of the traditional good vs. evil theme we had one that we felt was more relatable,’

Disney employees were then asked about their sibling experiences to make the sisters’ relationship authentic, and the idea female empowerment was used to show it doesn’t always have to be true love that thaws a frozen heart.

‘Now that they’re related, Elsa had her own fear and it was Anna who would save the day instead of Elsa by rescuing her sister — and it would be that selfless act that thawed Elsa’s heart,’ Peter said.
