Motif- Starting with Upheaval
We start at the low point for Henry, even if he doesn’t full acknowledge it◦His wife has left him, after what seems like a period of infidelity or at least distrust.
He’s in a precarious situation with his job, having fumbled one mission by being too “real” with the mark.
We realize he’s lost his child and, by association, his legacy.
In the hero’s journey, often we will see the protagonist at his or her lowest so that they can rise back to their former glory- think action movies or the Odyssey.
