Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It’s Not)

Questing: The Basics

Structure of a Quest A quester (knight) Place to go (far away land) Stated reason to go there (princess) Challenges on the route (dragon) Real reason to go there (deeper)

The Real Reason? Why does knight really go on quest? Goes because of stated reason Never completes stated reason Real Reason ALWAYS self-knowledge Must not be too old to learn

Example: Thomas Pynchon’s Crying of Lot 49 Young Woman, not happy with marriage Not too young to learn Drives to South Carolina from home Execute business of former love Meets strange, scary, and dangerous people

Real Reason Name: Oedipa (after Oedipus the King) Doesn’t know self Friends stripped away Must rely on self Must find self on which to rely

Other “Typical” Quest Tales Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Lord of the Rings North by Norhtwest Stars Wars

So… Is Every Trip a Quest? No, sometimes the plot is as simple as an uneventful day going to work
