Vogler's "The Ordinary World" and "Call to Adventure"

Summary
In this section of Vogler’s text, he discusses the very first and second part of the journey, “The Ordinary World” and the "Call to Adventure." He summarizes that the ordinary world establishes the rest of journey. It is often less exciting or dangerous than later parts of the journey. This beginning portion of journey also begins the complex characterization of the hero. In the ordinary world the hero usually establishes a relationship with the audience that will affect how they see the hero in later parts of journey. Part of this characterization is the establishment of the hero’s tragic flaw as well as something that they may be lacking. Vogler describes the call to adventure as the beginning of the real action in the story. The herald archetype is generally the intiator of change. However, sometimes the hero may want to refuse the call to adventure if it causes some time of disorientation.
Reaction
“The Ordinary World” chapter was interesting. Vogler’s interpretation of Campbell’s idea is simply understood and logical. He breaks the ordinary world into sections so that reader can break down the beginning of the journey and also make connections to books they have read or movies they have seen. He did a good job of introducing the importance of titles and prologues too. I think that people often overlook how significant titles are to how the reader/ viewer portray a piece. Like the title, readers often overlook the importance of prologues, because everyone wants to jump right into the plot. However, Vogler explains that prologues are vital in understanding the ordinary world.
Reflection
My first introduction to the word “hubris” was in my ninth grade English class. My class was reading The Odysseus. This was probably my first experience with recognizing the “hero’s journey.” Like so many other heroes, Odysseus has an obvious tragic flaw, hubris. His excessive pride causes him trouble throughout the epic poem, and the reader learns quickly that it is an obstacle too difficult even for a famed hero to completely overcome. In Vogler’s “Ordinary World” section, he introduces the hero’s tragic flaw. He states that every hero has a weakness, because a hero would be boring if they were flawless. Vogler’s theory reminded me of Odysseus because the epic would not be interesting if Odysseus did not create so many problems himself.

Questions
Why is it important for the hero to make an “introduction” to the audience?
How does the hero lacking something add to what they learn from their journey?
If Ardita was the hero in Offshore Pirate, what her “ordinary world” establish about her character?
Why is the prologue important to the ordinary world?
