Using the Dramatica theory of story as a basis for analysis, these articles seek to outline the deep structural meaning at the base of several different stories.
Beyond simply pointing out difficulties or missing structural items, these articles analyze stories with specific suggestions for improvements. Originally appearing in the Dramatica Storyforming Writer's Journal, each critique analyzes the faults in well-known stories, then supplies constructive criticisms illustrating how the Dramatica theory can build a stronger story.
