Redwall repeats?

[WildDoogyPlumm]

I learned at school there is something called the Hero's ____. Can't remember the last word, but all the story's of Redwall have it. It's like what all the Hero's go through. Like Hercules, he rose to fame, had a bad time, then saved all the people. It's something like that order.

Hero's Journey?

[Ciaran Galedeep]

You've basically stumbled onto what I call the "Redwall formula".  There's always a general storyline Redwall follows, and there's always a guarantee of certain things--huge feasts, vermin hordes, a hero to save the day.  As Matthias has said, the journey to these points is all different, but its the same storyline in the end.  Only two books melded out of this formula a bit to give you that "might something different happen" feeling--Outcast of Redwall and Taggerung.  Some readers don't mind the general predictability of the stories, others don't like it as much.

Legend of luke didn't quite follow the the usual pattern... the title character dies and his adventure only lasts over one book in the volume. also includes the mad otter Folgrim who has an twisted varity of battle sickness.
