Monomyth

Criticisms
I think that the problem with this is that his theory is too generic. You can read any story and try to fit into this mold. Every story has these elements, a hero, a problem and a villain. You can read any story manipulate any story to fit in to this mold that Campbell has set up.

Praise
I do how ever think that by having a set mold to go by makes it easier for some one to analyze a story. They will know what to look for and how to interpret it in the world of myth.
