A Comparative Analysis of the Heroine's Journey in Brave and Moana Movies

The heroine's journey, a concept first introduced by Christopher Vogler, is a crucial aspect of storytelling that has been explored in various forms of media. Two movies that have recently gained popularity for their portrayal of strong female protagonists are Pixar's Brave (2012) and Disney's Moana (2016). Both films feature young women who embark on epic journeys, facing challenges and overcoming obstacles to achieve their goals.

One key difference between the two movies is the number of stages they go through in their respective heroine's journeys. According to Vogler's theory, a hero's journey typically consists of twelve stages, while the heroine in Brave movie goes through nine stages. Moana, on the other hand, passes ten stages of the hero's journey.

Using a comparative literature method, this research aims to analyze and compare the heroine's journey in both movies. The results of the study indicate that both Brave and Moana feature heroines who go through several stages of the heroine's journey. This research is designed as a literary criticism, analyzing not only the hero's journey but also comparing it using comparative literature theory.

The concept of the heroine's journey is rooted in the idea of growth and passage, where each stage of the journey must be passed successfully for the protagonist to be considered a true heroine. To analyze both films, this research employs Vogler's theory of the hero's journey, which provides a framework for understanding the stages involved.

The ultimate goal of this study is to discuss the comparison between the heroine's journeys in Brave and Moana movies. By examining these two popular films, we can gain a deeper understanding of how storytelling techniques are used to convey the experiences of strong female protagonists.
