Joseph and his Coat

Campbell’s description, is Joseph an epic hero? Explain, using

quotes from the Biblical text. (Remember that, for Campbell, an

epic hero doesn’t have to fit every single one of these stages, just

most of them.) What epic things does Joseph accomplish? How

many lives are affected by his behavior and his choices? Think

about Aristotle’s telos here. In Egypt, Joseph seems to be a “trust

magnet.” Is this ability to attract trust a gift from God? How does

Joseph use his gifts? Include an mage of Joseph from The

Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Remember that, for Campbell, an epic hero doesn't have to fit every single one of these stages, just most of them. That means, any hero doesn't have a standard path, different hero have different epic in these stages. people can not follow their path, and also hero can not copy at all. But, when we compare all epic hero, we can find out one characters that is all hero have different aspects. The hero begins in the ordinary world, and receives a call to enter an unknown world of strange powers and events. The hero who accepts the call to enter this unknown world must face tasks and trials.In the most intense versions of the narrative, the hero must survive a severe challenge, often with help. If the hero survives, he may achieve a great gift. The hero must then decide whether to return to the ordinary world with this gift. If the hero does decide to return, he or she often faces challenges on the return journey. I do believe that Joseph is an epic hero. I believe this because Joseph died for his family. This makes an epic hero in my mind when you are willing to sacrifice your life for someone else or something else to help other people down then road.
