The hero archetype is based off many different characteristics such as a warrior to the super heroic and anything in between. the movie that I'm deciding if it matches the hero archetype is the movie "Brave Heart" which is about the Scottish trying to fight for there freedom and to get away from English rules. I believe that "William Wallace" fit into many of the hero archetypes such as hero as a warrior because he fought and killed many English men after the murder of his wife "Marion Braidfute". Another is hero as a scapegoat because he gets tortured for the lives of many Scotsman and there freedom. Also as the defiant hero because he defied the English king and the jarls of his people and did what he had to do for his people. Finally he is also the denied hero due to his status as a farmer and not of royal blood and considered a scoundrel.
The type of archetypical journey for the movie "Brave Heart" is one of many such as the quest for vengeance which is why William Wallace retaliated in the first place because they killed his wife. Another one is the warriors journey to save his people because William Wallace kind of adopts that journey after hundreds of Scotsman joined him on his vengeance journey. and the final journey is the quest to rid this land of danger because the English men are dangerous to his people and think of his people as slaves.
