Unity
|
A single launch, posing a single narrative question, serving as the axis about which the story
turns--a story leading to a climax that answers the narrative question.
|
Symmetry
|
Dramatic potential matched to other dramatic potential, dramatic potential in one direction
offsetting dramatic potential in the opposite direction. Or the "twisting" of the original
universe 180 degrees, followed by a return to the original universe.
|
Dramatic Fulfillment
|
The release of all major dramatic and matched potential established in the set-up, launch, and
story, an answering of the narrative question, and an accounting for all major remaining forces in
the resolution.
