Abstract :
According to Campbell's monotheistic theory, the path to individuality is going through an internal or external journey. In this story, two scientists are unknowingly involved in despair; one wishes for freedom and the other wishes for friendship.Brewer is a physician, and Nietzsche is a patient who refuses to accept help, even for treatment. Inevitably, Brewer, pretending to be frustrated, obtains Nietzsche's consent to be hospitalized to cure his frustration. Brewer frees himself from obsessive thoughts and tastes freedom by learning to live in the present and willing his destiny.Nietzsche, who sought to find a way beyond his treatment, uses Brewer’sself-confession method to forgetSalome; But, despite finding a same-level friendship, he chooses solitude and returns to create the book that matured in his mindwhen he saw Salome.Brewer also returns to his family life, medicine and culture after receiving the final blessing of the trip,but this time, he has freely chosen it.
