Double Bouble Hero's



In the story Arizona, Victor partakes in a quest much like a hero's quest. Some people might think that this makes Victor a hero, but I disagree. One large step in the hero's quest that Victor does not under go is crossing the threshold. "Thomas Builds-the-fire and Victor sat next to each other in the airplane..." The fact that Victor took an airplane to get to another place instead of a more unusual fashion is not a magical journey to a new land. The second reason that i believe Victor is not a hero is because he never loses the guide. "I came because of your father." This shows that the guide escorted Victor all the way through the journey and he never had to prove himself. The final reason that Victor is not a hero is because he never becomes the master of two worlds. "They both searched for words to end the journey." This shows that the journey ends and they return home with no way of going back and live there lives the same as they used to. Victor is not a true hero because although the quest he encounters seems much like that of a hero's it lacks some of the most important factors of being a true hero's quest.
