Hegemon

In this episode, we reach the peak of the pyramid to look at the one who doesn't just hold power, but is the power. We explore the Hegemon and why this archetype is the ultimate engine for conflict in our most epic stories. In this episode, we discuss: The Social Island: How the burden of the crown creates a unique character study of isolation. The Voice of Certainty: Analyzing the terrifyingly calm dialogue of someone who has forgotten the meaning of the word "no," and who views their own will as the literal law of the land. Is the ruler at the top of your world's power structure a traditional tyrant, or are you exploring the tax of authority? Subscribe for more episodes as we continue to map the "blueprints" of humanity!
