The Mentor
"The Mentor" is a term often used to describe a person who provides guidance, support, and advice to someone less experienced, typically in a professional or educational setting. Mentors help mentees develop skills, navigate challenges, and achieve their goals. This relationship can be formal or informal and is beneficial for both parties, as mentors also gain insights and satisfaction from helping others.
In literature and storytelling, the mentor archetype is a common character who aids the hero on their journey. Famous examples include Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings and Yoda from Star Wars. These mentors impart wisdom and knowledge, helping the hero grow and succeed in their quest.
