In this Film Courage video interview, Author Christopher Vogler talks on the purpose of a character's death in a story as multifaceted. It serves to magnify and elevate the story, adding tension and seriousness. Death can be a character itself, threatening or dealing death to others, or it can symbolize the death of hopes and dreams. Death in a story can shake the audience, communicate the gravity of the situation, and test the themes and plot. The death of a hero impacts other characters, creating a sense of unease and vacuum, but their resurrection brings a powerful emotional lift. The death of a hero or a villain can have different effects: the hero's death can be sacrificial, tragic, or noble, while the villain's death often brings poetic justice, satisfying the audience's desire for balance and punishment.
Christopher Vogler made documentary films as an Air Force officer before studying film production at the University of Southern California, where he encountered the ideas of mythologist Joseph Campbell and observed how they influenced the story design of the first Star Wars movie. He worked as a story consultant in the development departments of 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Pictures and Animation, and Paramount Pictures, and wrote an influential memo on Campbell’s Hero’s Journey concept that led to his involvement in Disney’s Aladdin, The Lion King and Hercules. After the publication of The Writer’s Journey, he had a hand in developing the stories of many productions, including Disney’s remake of 101 Dalmatians, Fox’s Fight Club, Courage Under Fire, Volcano, The Thin Red Line and many others. Vogler lives in Los Angeles, California.
