Joseph Campbell explores that world hero myths are all basically the same story, retold endlessly in infinite variation and all stories, consciously or not, follow the myth of the hero’s journey. Critically looking at the genre of film through the lends of the hero’s journey has been done quite often. However, critically looking at theatre from the perspective of the hero’s journey is far less common. A critical interpretation of G. B. Shaw’s play, Heartbreak House, from the perspective of the hero’s journey is both meaningful and long overdue. Heartbreak House follows the pattern of the hero’s journey in that it is full of the symbols of a journey and a voyage throughout the play. The protagonist Ellie starts the hero’s journey in the special world. Ellie suffers from tests, ordeals, and heartbreaks so as to pass through the threshold of the hero’s journey. Finally, she matures and is transformed by the moment of death-and-rebirth, and will be able to return with the elixir, the vision of her strength to reconstruct a new world after the war. We can adopt a new hero concept, the everyday hero, to the interpretation of Heartbreak House. It means that if we are able to be transformed by ordeals and heartbreaks in life, we are already on the hero’s journey. Through journeying with the characters of the play, the reader or the audience can also learn life lessons from the everyday hero’s journey.
