7. Approach to the Inmost Cave to face the Ordeal
We have now reached the special world of the hero and will focus our attention on the final stages of the journey. Today, you will connect specifically to The Approach to the Inmost Cave and the Ordeal.
The stage, Approach to the Inmost Cave, is described as a time when the hero makes the preparations needed to approach the dark place that leads to the central crisis (the ordeal). Maps may be reviewed, lists made, attacks planned, a spy plan launched, and possibly the enemy's force whittled down before the hero can face his greatest fear, or the supreme danger lurking ahead.
The Ordeal can be described as the central life-or-death crisis, during which the hero faces their greatest fear, or confronts their most difficult challenge.
Think about what you would do to prepare for an imminent natural disaster, like a hurricane.
YOUR TASK TODAY:
In your novel, identify and describe the preparations (approach to the inmost cave) that your main character does in order to face and eventually resolve his or her crisis (ordeal). If a character does not prepare to face and solve his/her crisis, how does this impact his or her success at the ordeal stage?
**Include at least one direct quotation from your novel to support each of these two stages of the journey. Build a quotation sandwich by introducing the quotation, inserting the quotation and then explaining the quotation's significance to the stage of the journey. Include a proper in-text citation (Author, Title page) following each quotation.
As a sample, take a look at this youtube clip. How does this showcase the qualities of one or both of the journey stages you will write about today?
