Table of Story Elements

Universe

Knowledge Order

DRAMATICA
Progress
Fact
Proven Accurate

This table (and the 3-D style graphic) represents the dramatic topics that occur in all complete stories. Like its scientific cousin, the Periodic Table of Elements, items are arranged in families. Dramatic familes include Genre, Plot, Theme, and Character. The interrelationships between these four aspects of story can be seen in the nested nature of the table. Dramatica theory describes how to place these story elements in context to create dramatic appreciations such as Goal and Premise. Dramatica software automatically rearranges the table to create a story progression that reflects the dramatic decisions made by an author.
