Indiana Jones’s Journey for the Lost Ark

The first stage of the journey is the separation stage. Chaos makes the hero separate from his environment, causing him to start his quest. The Nazis’ pursuit of the ark causes Jones to leave his job as a teacher and fly to Nepal to look for his old girlfriend. Mary has something that will show Jones where the location of the ark is. Jones fights off some Nazi men in Nepal and takes Mary with him to Cairo, Egypt. The lost ark of the covenant has been lost for over 3,000 years. The U.S. Army of Intelligence will pay Jones a hefty amount of money if he restores the ark to a museum. Hitler wants the Ark because it might release

The second stage of a hero’s journey is the transformation stage. This is when Jones tests his wit, will, and strength. Jones and Mary find a local friend named Solum in the streets of Cairo. Jones must hide from the Nazis and find the ark while the Nazis look to kill Jones and find the ark themselves. The Nazis steal Mary on the streets while Jones kills off many men, with his famous whip and gun fighting, to get Mary back. Jones thinks he saw a truck blowup with Mary in it but he later finds her alive and captive. A descent in a hero’s journey is when the hero feels it can not go on any longer. The hero uses it’s special power, knowledge, or strength to overcome the descent. The descent scene for that one has Jones getting drunk alone. Jones has many descents instead of one because it makes the movie more exciting when he overcomes more than one, suprising the audience.

The third stage of Jones’s journey is the return stage. This is when the hero returns for a final test. The Nazis march the ark to a mountain on the island. They carry big poles with Nazi flags with red all over them. The color red is an archetype for the passion and anger the Nazis have had in their pursuit for the ark. Jones follows them but becomes noticed and captive along with Mary. They tie Jones and Mary around a pole next to their religious site. This is the final
