Lastly, she must face the ferocious Mor'du, another person who was cursed and took the form of a bear. She must bring an end to a potential war between her kingdom and the neighboring ones. She must help her mother keep her humanity, which is slowly draining away every minute. In this world of the unknown, she faces many challenges. The hero has few helpers: her mother, who doubles as the mentor figure, and her triplet brothers, who were also cursed. She must travel the further edges of the forest, areas where she has never been, with her mother, now trapped in bear form. After her mother's transformation, Merida is shoved across the threshold, into the world of the unknown. Once her wish for her fate to change leads her to the witch's hut, where she receives the magical cake, she experiences the call to adventure. Its streets, population, and some of the woods are familiar to her. Her known world exists within the kingdom's land. Merida, the Scottish princess, is the hero of this modern story. Together, they reform the bond that they once had, thus bringing this fairy tale to a close. Unable to receive the witch's aid, the two must reverse the spell on their own, through a tapestry made by the queen and torn by Merida. Merida and her mother take off to refind the hut to help change her back to her human form. Her mother consumes the cake, and it changes her form into a bear. She follows it, and it takes her to a witch's hut, where she is given a cake to change her fate.
These mythical creatures are known for bringing people to their fate. After the games, she has an argument with her mother, and goes into the woods.

This movie takes place in Scotland, and follows the story of the princess Merida.
In this post, I will be discussing this pattern in the Pixar movie Brave.
They will reach the threshold once again, and return with new experiences, new knowledge, and will utilize these newfound abilities in their society.Įvery modern story contains aspects of this hero pattern in some way or another. The hero will then encounter an abyss, where there will be a death of their past selves and the reemergence of a new hero.After this transformation, the hero will continue on, their journey slowly but surely coming to its end. After crossing this border, the protagonist will acquire helpers, a mentor, and use them along their journey. Eventually, they will reach a threshold, the dividing line between the comfort zone and the world they know. The hero experiences a call to adventure, and takes off into the unknown. The hero, no matter what kind, undergoes what is known as the hero pattern. From the epic heroes to the modern ones, the concept of heroes has evolved. Each story told contains the archetypal hero.
