Plot Scenarios

In an earlier post I talked about plot and how it all breaks down to the same elements. One of those elements is the basic scenario.  There are actually thirty-six dramatic plots, but for the sake of this series, I’ve combined the similar ones to make them easier to discuss and explain (because really, what’s the difference between familial hatred and a familial rivalry?)

Below is the list of ones I’ll be posting on over the coming weeks. I’ll also update this one as I add new posts so you can easily navigate around what’s already been covered.
