gue =**Fiction:**= Jack travels in the world of the inmaterial. He voyages places only Epic Heroes have gone before. Capt. Jack Sparrow has run ins with the Kracken, the Sirens ( in earlier novels), Davy Jones Locker, and thanks to the hands of fate avoids the curse placed on Aztec treasure. He was born to a pirate father and grew up in Shipwreck Cove before running away to begin his adventures. Jack is seeking what every true hero seeks a kind of freedom. The freedom Jack is searching for is the final stage of the Hero's Journey, the Freedom to Live.

While Jack is the center of the Pirates franchise he is not the singular center of the films. Instead he is the thread that holds the plots together. As Director [|Gore Verbinski] admitted, "The first film was a movie, and then Jack was put into it almost. He doesn't have the obligations of the plot in the same ways that the other characters have. He meanders his way through, and he kind of affects everybody else." {1}
