    "Beyond Romance : exploring identity and transformation in Penelope and Colin's journey in Bridgerton"
    (2024-12-20) Moschini, Ailén Naomi; Mucci, María Rosa
    This thesis explores the character development and relationship dynamics of Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in the third season of Netflix's Bridgerton, employing Jungian psychology, Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, and Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey as theoretical frameworks. The research addresses the question: How do the processes of individuation, the Hero’s Journey, and the Heroine’s Journey manifest in the character development and relationship dynamics of Penelope and Colin? The hypothesis posits that these processes shape the characters' psychological growth, leading to their mutual integration and self-realization. Using a systematic content analysis of key scenes, this study examines how psychological and archetypal motifs guide character development. Penelope’s transformation is analyzed through Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, focusing on her reclamation of feminine power, while Colin’s journey is framed by Campbell’s monomyth, emphasizing his integration of shadow aspects and evolving masculinity. Findings demonstrate that Penelope and Colin’s character arcs align with archetypal narratives while engaging with themes of gender, identity, and societal norms within a historical romance setting. This thesis contributes to media studies by presenting a model for character analysis in television, offering insights into how archetypal storytelling enhances emotional engagement with audiences, and enriching our understanding of character dynamics in contemporary media.

    The Hero’s Journey in Arya Stark
    (2023-02-27) Vega, Ana Débora; Mucci, María Rosa
    The aim of this work is to analyse the extent to which the female character Arya Stark in Game of Thrones follows the stages proposed by Joseph Campbell to be considered a heroine. Therefore, we explore the different movements of the path followed by this character throughout the development of the story. We consider the order of the stages to prove whether the Initiation stage gives Arya the wisdom needed for her transformation and we also explore her heroic traits in the way she risks her life for a cause that goes beyond her own existence. As a result, a content study has been carried out by means of the observation of two episodes from the series, concentrating on the aspects that are central to prove our hypotheses.
