Because everyone loves a good story
Vacations, sunsets, great books, delicious meals: we’re told that all good things must come to an end. For the hero, even the Special World of the adventure must come to a close eventually. But how does the hero return home? Via the Road Back.
Luke Skywalker does farm chores for his Uncle Owen on Tatooine. The Pevensie children begin their Narnian adventure in the quiet old house of Professor Kirke. Harry Potter starts out in a cookie cutter house on Privet Drive.
That is to say, every adventure begins in an Ordinary World.
