A Textual Analysis of The Seeker of Nothing by Kabir Munjal in the Perspective of The Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell

Abstract

This study is about The seeker of Nothing by Kabir Munjal who described a journey of a man who was not actually living in the dynamic way but only breathing. Self-blame, anger, and meaningless existence are the outcomes of a tragic incident that happened to him seven years ago. This study highlights his journey to the Mountains of Templetron for the delivery of the valuable artifact and how this object proves as a spiritual awakening for him. The purpose of this research paper is to find out the journey of the protagonist Andahar through the Campbell’s three-stage framework which is separation, initiation, and return. Through all these three stages, the researchers analyzed Andahar’s struggle to fight with his inner turmoil for the peace of his mind and heart. The hero’s journey gives the idea about the personal quest of every individual’s journey from unknown to known and to find the meaning of his/her life
