The Adventure of Learning PREFACE Most people are captivated by adventure stories. These narratives often mirror epic quests found in fantasy franchises like The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or Hunger Games-where the hero embarks on a transformative journey into fantastical realms. These tales share a common structure that revolves around a journey-whether physical or metaphorical-taken by a character labeled as the " Hero " or " Heroine. " Narratologists like Joseph Campbell and Maureen Murdock have dissected this structure in works such as " The Hero's Journey " and " The Heroine's Journey.
