The Structural Analysis of Narrative
Structural analysis of narrative examines how a story is organized and constructed to create meaning. It looks at elements such as plot, characters, setting, and themes, and how they interact to guide the audience’s understanding. This approach identifies patterns and relationships within the story’s framework, revealing how stories are built to evoke emotions, convey messages, and sustain coherence. By analyzing these underlying structures, one can better appreciate the story's design and the techniques used to engage the audience effectively.
