The Birth of Finn MacCumhail

Finn MacCumhail is this person that has these “mortal-like” occurrences. He survives the fate of being killed immediately after he is born. Then Finn grows up to become this amazing fighter to save the kings dun, while at the same time releasing all the prisoners from the kings castle. Finn does all of these fantasy things that no one else thought was possible or no one else had ever accomplished. I think from Joseph Campbell’s point of view of this character is the guy that saves the day, which allows everyone to live happily ever after. Finn is the good guy in which most people look up to and try to become. Joseph Campbell probably imagined being like Finn as a young child.
