A lot of popular movies or books features a hero or heroine who is
the sole person who can save the world, usually chosen by destiny. There are
many reasons why so many authors chose to use 'The Chosen One' theme for their
works. By using this theme, the author hopes that the readers will relate to
the hero, as heroes in works that use this theme tend to start out as an
ordinary person. Another reason is this theme allows the author to transform a
nobody to be a hero. Take Spiderman for instance, how else could a nerdy,
scrawny, and terribly plain student become a superhero? The last and the most
important reason is because it simply works. Although 'The Chosen One' theme is
terribly cliched, people still continue to enjoy and love it.
