the return with the elixir




Picture
The hero returns to reality, or the ordinary world,  with a prize or understanding.  For example, the elixir can be an object or something the hero learned.  The hero must bring something back or  will end up repeating the journey.  The elixir brings closure to the hero.  The elixir or treasure helps the hero move on with life.

An example of the elixir is when Elsa and Anna are finally reunited.  Elsa has learned to use her powers in a good way and restores the kingdom back to summer which saves the people of Arendelle.

Another example of the elixir is when Kristoff realizes that he loves Anna and returns to Arendelle to tell her.  Anna realizes that Kristoff was her true love all along and they live happily ever after


Monsters Inc

Sully learned many things in his adventure. Becoming more friendly and compassionate was his kind of reward from bis journey. The friendship he made with Boo, and the solidification of his friendship with Mike was also a good example of the elixir of his journeys.
