Mythic structure refers to the common patterns and elements found in myths across different cultures. These structures often include archetypal characters, such as heroes, mentors, and villains, as well as recurring themes like the hero's journey, creation, and transformation. This framework helps to convey universal truths and moral lessons. In storytelling, mythic structure can guide the narrative flow, often following stages like the call to adventure, trials, and ultimate resolution. Notable examples include Joseph Campbell's concept of the "monomyth," which outlines the hero's journey, and the Hero's Journey template used in many modern stories, including films and literature.
