| Diğer Bilgiler: | This article describes how the protagonist of the novel Cocorí becomes a successful hero according to the theory proposed by Joseph Campbell. Firstly, the Costa Rican context is analyzed; secondly, we proceed to establish some basic theoretical concepts for the analysis of the text such as hero, the stages that imply the hero’s journey, as well as some symbols that finalize the proposal under study. Lastly, a third moment is reached in which, after analyzing the character’s journey in the work, it is concluded that indeed this child unconsciously configures himself as a popular hero, who, although it is true that he does not possess divine attributes, fulfills with all the stages and requirements to become a Costa Rican folkloric hero, who returns victorious from his adventures as a new being to share his new wisdom with the rest of his people. |
