I wonder if Freud would have liked that show Heroes.

Vogler says when it comes to a Hero the audience must identify with them, they must experience personal growth and they must be active, they have to "do" things.

Qualities I struggle to relate to lately but luckily i'm not writing about myself, or am I? Well yes, say Freud and Vogler.

I'll come back to these points somewhere down the line.

Vogler says the true quality of a Hero is Sacrifice. Self-scarifice. This is a benchmark character trait. Must remember to sacrifice Emily at some stage or stages in the story.

Okay so reading on Vogler says Heroes teach us about dealing with death, blah, blah, blah, other characters can be heroes, the character should have flaws, some heroes are willing, some unwilling, for some reason the song lyric 'some girls will, some girls won't' is now stuck in my head. Okay still reading, You can have anti-heroes, groups of heroes and loner heroes. Finally lets end this with catalyst heroes, they do heroic things but change little themselves, being rather an agent of change for others.

Admittedly I found this chapter boring. I'll have to start actually fleshing out the details of Emily's character soon enough, and i'll probably refer back to these main concepts, but for now I just can't be stuffed.
