Million Dollar Baby has two heroes – Clint Eastwood (Frankie Dunn) and Hillary Swank (Maggie Fitzgerald). Both of these have internal challenges they need to overcome – Frankie has to come to terms with his daughter and Maggie with her White Trash origins. Morgan Freeman (Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris) is the mentor (supernatural aid) here to both, and like all good mentors, has a challenge of his own – what to do about Danger Barch? Through the process of taking Maggie to the Title Fight (the outer challenge), our heroes attain their apotheosis and ultimately conquer their challenges. The romantic challenge is embodied in the relationship between Frankie and Maggie. Summary: Call to Adventure: Maggie asks Frankie to coach her.
