A Theory of Narrative

A Theory of Narrative explores how stories are structured and why they resonate with us. It examines elements like plots, characters, and themes, and how they work together to create meaning and engage audiences. The theory considers patterns, symbols, and the flow of information, helping us understand why certain stories evoke emotional responses or convey messages effectively. Essentially, it analyzes the mechanics behind storytelling—why stories are compelling and how they influence our perceptions, beliefs, and understanding of the world around us.
