“Campbell’s approach tends to direct the reader back to themselves and their own culture. By saying, “hey, it’s really just the same story over and over, we are all basically the same, and it’s great!” he ends up erasing the differences, and it has a flattening effect on the stories. This means that readers see what they already can see, and they understand stories from different times and places as reflections of their own experiences. Since it is often a white/ Western audience doing this, the net result is that the stories written from other perspectives are decontextualized from their culture and repackaged as something familiar, losing a lot of information along the way. By saying “all these stories are the same,” we lose what stories mean in different contexts and, especially, what they can mean to people that come from cultures that are not our own.”

Also: Headlines are deceptive. Some folklorists probably appreciate Campbell’s work…
