In the book, "The Giver", the Giver himself goes through a romance hero's story, because he has all seven stages. He has the Faithfull Followers, and he is the Wise Old Man. There is many Dreams and a couple Number Threes, he shoes alot of Magic when he is with Jonas, and he Tests the Followers. Finally there is some Betrayal towards him but not alot.
The Faithfull Followers to the Giver are Jonas which is the currant reciever, his daughter which was the old reciever because they did what ever the Giver asked them to do. The community was also a follower because they look to the Giver for advise when they have hard decisions because he has wisdom. For that reason the Giver is the Wise Old Man.
The Dreams actually the memories for example the hill full of snow, and it snowing while he is on a sled on top of the hill sleding down the hill. To Jonas that memory feels like a dream because he has never seen or experienced anything like that before. The Number Threes are Jonas, the Giver, and Gabe (the baby) because when the Giver gives some memories to Jonas, Jonas then gives some memories to Gabe. They also plan Jonas' escape from the community and Jonas takes Gabe.
The Magic is shown when transfering the memories from the Giver to Jonas or from Jonas to Gabe, because of how they are transfered. They are transfered by placing their hand on their back and then it just happens, "like magic." Testing the Followers is when the Giver transfers the memories to Jonas and his daughter. He tests them by seeing if they would recieve the memories. He tested Jonas again by planning his escape and seeing if he would leave and he did, but he took Gabe betraying the Giver. That is the only Betrayal that is done by Jonas towards the Giver. His daughter betrays him by asking for a release, a release is when the community kills them, she couldn't take the pain of the memories.
