Fear – entry into prison
Mentor/Sage – Red
Cross the threshold – become a valuable prisoner to the hierarchy
Tests/challenges – beer/library/opera/murder of Tommy
Approach to centre of unknown – escape
Ordeal – pipe/tornado – water as metaphor for cleansing
Reward – bank accounts
The road back – going over the border to Mexico – car scene
Resurrection – reunited with Red in denouement

Words associated with heroism:

How many of these can you apply to Andy? How many could an audience apply to themselves?
