Doctor Who and the Hero's Journey: The Doctor and Companions as Chosen Ones (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523461042)

The Doctor is certainly the legend with untold faces, the mythic hero who dies to save mankind only to return, regenerated into an undying god with new wisdom of the ages. But his companions are journeying too. Rose Tyler and Donna Noble cross the TARDIS threshold and grow from ordinary women into goddesses of transcendent light, restoring the world with their golden auras. Martha learns faith and Amy, the power of imagination, until both can save the Doctor purely with the strength of their belief. By willing the world to reshape itself, they harness the power of the oldest goddesses who ruled with creation magic rather than conquest. River Song is the divine child of the TARDIS, magic itself, while Clara learns the heroine's mythic power of spreading herself through eternity and thus reshaping reality as the Doctor's world. United, they battle for the earth's redemption by confronting the shadows within.
