The 8 narratives
Katie Domailie (2001) said that all stories ever told can be fitted into one of the eight narratives.
Achillies -
The fatal flaw that leads to the destruction of the previously flawless person
E.g Superman.
Candide -
The indominatable hero who cannot be put down.
E.g James Bond
Cinderella -
The dream comes true.
E.g Pretty Woman.
Circe -
The chase, the spider and the fly, the innocent and the victim
E.g Smokey and The Bandit.
Faust -
Selling your soul to the devil may bring riches but eventually your soul belongs to him
E.g Wall Street
Orpheous-
The loss of something personal, the gift that is taken away, the tradgedy of the loss or the journey which follows the loss.
E.g Love Story
