What is Dan Harmon’s Story Circle?

The story circle was adopted from the hero’s journey plot structure that was created by Joseph Campbell. Harmon felt that the hero’s journey was tailored to a specific type of story. Like fantasy and sci-fi. The return of the elixir, death, and resurrection, a hidden cave, etc. Harmon refined the Hero’s Journey plot structure to just eight steps. Which are comprised of basic human motivations, actions, and consequences. He lays this out in a circle.

You: A character is in a comfort zone

Need: But they want something

Go: They enter an unfamiliar situation

Search: Adapt to it

Find: Get what they wanted

Take: Pay a heavy price for it

Return: Then return to their familiar situation

Change: Having changed.

Harmon’s version focuses a lot more on character. I was thinking about character arcs when I was doing my research. Why does Harmon choose to structure the story circle in a circle? Harmon touches on the rhythms of biology, psychology, and culture: How as humans we move cyclically through phases of life and death, conscious and unconscious, order and chaos.
