Liminal Aspects of the Hero’s Journey in the Major Works of Neil Gaiman
Original language description
The paper explores the concept of liminality, particularly how it manifests in the "Weird" fiction genre, with a specific focus on Neil Gaiman's major works. It analyses Gaiman's narratives through the lens of structuralism and the hero's journey, contrasting his approach to liminal spaces and character transformations with traditional mythological structures and the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft. The text distinguishes between liminality, thirdspace, and heterotopia, explaining how Gaiman utilises these concepts to create fluid, ambiguous worlds where characters experience continuous, open-ended transformations that challenge conventional narrative closure and engage the reader in a deeper, more interactive way.
