If the call to adventure is seen as the
catalyst to the story, then the meeting with the mentor serves to
give direction, and create an impulse and motive where previously
there were none.
The mentor does not always have to be a
single character. The cliché is that the mentor is a wise old man,
but it doesn't have to always be the case! The mentor doesn't have to
even be a character – it can take the form of a past experience, a
library, television, or any other source of information. It is not
important who or what fills the role of mentor, as long as the
information the hero needs is provided.
