#Adventure stories are a genre that involve protagonists going on epic journeys. These journeys are most often geographical but may also include emotional and personal journeys and growth. The adventure, the goal of the quest at hand, must take center stage in an adventure story.adventure story requires more than just a protagonist. It needs a hero, a courageous character who can face the complications and threats of a grand epic quest. In some cases, the protagonist may not initially want to go on the adventure but needs to do so for reasons beyond their control. This allows a character to grow and transform themselves into a proper hero by the end of the story and provides a more rounded and three-dimensional character as opposed to a protagonist that starts the story already established as a hero.This reluctant hero exists in what many writers and scholars call the Hero's Journey, a story structure first identified by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. While the idea of the Monomyth, as Campbell called it, has been met with some criticism and is not as universal as presented, it does offer a generally-well recognized format for an adventure story that takes elements from a lot of classic mythology and can still be found in more modern works.A character like Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise, for example, initially refuses the call to go with Obi-Wan Kenobi and aid the Rebellion. It's only after his aunt and uncle are killed that he accepts the mission and begins his journey. He gains skills and experience with each new step of his journey until he is a full Jedi knight and can face the Emperor.âŚ
