storytelling pyramid

The storytelling pyramid is a framework that structures a compelling story by organizing its key elements hierarchically. At the base, it includes context and characters, establishing the setting and who’s involved. Moving upward, it introduces the conflict or problem that drives the story forward. The apex contains the resolution or climax, where the conflict reaches its peak and is addressed. This pyramid helps storytellers craft narratives that are engaging, well-organized, and emotionally satisfying by ensuring each component naturally leads to the next, creating a clear and impactful flow for the audience.
