The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations is a descriptive list which was created by Georges Polti to categorize every dramatic situation that might occur in a story or performance.

He also analyzed a handful of non-French authors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirty-Six_Dramatic_Situations
