Talk:The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Which number is Faust?

Some say that all good stories have one of those 36 situations as a central plot device. Can somebody tell me then, which one of those 36 is the central situation of Faust / "Deal with the devil"? It can't be "Ambition", because there is no adversary, right? Peter S. 00:42, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

How about #2: Deliverance: an Unfortunate; a Threatener; a Rescuer where the devil is the rescuer and probably also the thretener. --Lbeaumont 00:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other lists we need(?)
