Here is a site that has all 36 of Georges Polti's dramatic situations that were discussed earlier in this thread. Back in 1868, he stated that every tale fits into one of these dramatic situations. So
HERE THEY ARE, laid out in detail. It is quite interesting if you can wade through it all.
Think of a movie or an adventure game plot and I bet you can fit it into one of these categories.
