![]() ![]() The following chapter, “Dissolutions,” brings together the death of the hero with the death of the universe. Campbell concludes this chapter with a meditation on several hero deaths from various traditions. He also considers the various forms a hero will take, such as warrior, lover, emperor, tyrant, world redeemer, or saint. Campbell discusses the hero’s childhood narrative, which, like the adventure of his adulthood, follows a pattern of “ separation-initiation-return” (30). Chapter 3 of Part 2 returns to the model of the hero’s journey, weaving his story into the fabric of the creation narrative that precedes him. The creation myth sets the foundation of many world mythologies, but after the divine manifests the made world, humanity remains on earth to create, improve, and redeem it. ![]()
