Going on a Quest

What other books or films contain your favourite quests? All the things below have been the object of a famous quest in literature (and film!). Whether to find or destroy, help or hinder, can you name the hero who led each tale? The one ring . . . The white whale . . . The golden fleece . . . What other books or films contain your favourite quests? Home sweet home . . .

What makes a quest a quest? A quest is a journey towards a goal. These goals can vary – from objects to ideas. What examples can you think of? Quest stories usually have a central hero (with skills and flaws like the rest of us). And the heroes face obstacles to overcome along the way, learning and changing as they go.

Send your own hero on a quest Knowing these basic elements of a quest, write your own quest short story. Plan out the course of events: Introduce a goal that must be reached/solved/fixed/etc. Think about your hero and why he or she feels the need to venture out in pursuit of this goal. Trip-up your hero a few times along the way, but don’t forget about the consequences or results of those challenges!
