My bare breasted practice can be seen as a hero's journey (Monomyth) by Joseph Campbell (1949). My heroine starts a dangerous journey from Tartu to Karepa but arrives to the yellow entertainment world instead.
Campbell has received some criticism due to his male centered approach. Woman is not a hero in his Monomyth but rather negative seducer or a goddess who distracts a male hero from his goal. If I am trying to fit a heroine into the hero's mold, I feel I should redesign the mold. The structure of the journey is too restricted. It is depicted as a closed circle with fixed points.

5. The hero in Campbell's scema becomes the master of the two worlds: he is successful in the material and also in the spiritual world. My heroine seems unfit for either of the worlds and in that unpredictability she could cause angst and fear.
