But what is an analogy? An analogy is used to compare two like objects to clarify something in an argument. In his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, he uses them to find the missing plot hole. He uses a watch for an example to explain how here’s a watch, so there must’ve been a watchmaker to make the watch. Another example is we have the universe, so there must’ve been a God to create it all. Analogies also help us comprehend what we don’t grasp. In his book he states, “ the flavor of the ocean is contained in a droplet…”(Campbell 1). This may be confusing at first, but what I believe Campbell is trying to explain is that the ocean is full of flavor and life, and that a single droplet could be used to study that giant mass into a single droplet. And all this helps with seeing the Hero’s Journey in everything, we may not understand it, but atleast we can break it down to understand
