It\u2019s what makes Dramatica unique. Dramatica says that every complete story is an analogy to a single human mind trying to deal with an inequity.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s quite a mouthful, but what it really means is that every complete story is a model of the mind\u2019s problem solving process. In fact, it says that all the elements of the story are actually elements of a single human mind &#8211; \u00a0not the author\u2019s mind, not the audience\u2019s mind but a mind created symbolically in the process of communicating across a medium to reach an audience. It is a mind for the audience to look at, understand and then occupy. That\u2019s the story\u2019s structure itself.<\/p>\n<p>Characters, plot, theme and genre, are not just a bunch of people doing things with value standards in an overall setting. Rather, characters, plot, theme and genre are different families of thought that go on in a Story Mind, in fact that go on in our own minds, made tangible, made incarnate, so that the audience might look into the mechanisms of their own minds &#8211; see them from the outside looking in\u00a0&#8211; and thereby get a better understanding of the problem solving process, so when a particular kind of problem comes up in their lives, they\u2019ll have a better idea how to deal with it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Also from Melanie Anne Phillips&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"obi_random_banners_posts\" class=\"obi_random_banners_posts\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Man-Made-First-Hour-Event-ebook\/dp\/B09WYXMFBV\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storymind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-27-3.58.58-PM.png\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch the entire 113 part\u00a0 series free on our web site&#8230; Transcript of the soundtrack from this video: Dramatica Unplugged Class One: Introduction 1.1 Introducing the Story Mind Let\u2019s look at the central concept in Dramatica: the Story Mind.
