Daring Enterprise: Georg Polti Plots or Storylines - The 36 Dramatic or Tragic Situations
Abstract
A conflict, which forms the framework of all drama, is clearly drawn. This situation expresses the poetry of war, of robbery, of surprise, of desperarate chance, of the clear sighted adventurer, of man unlimited by the halters of civilisation, bold, primordial, pioneering. If you have been intending to start that novel or screenplay but felt short of ideas, here is the Wise Women’s synopsis of plot to give you a few ideas. May the Goddess inspire you. Saviour Shirlie.
Everyone must respect the fundamentalist’s god, but they respect no one else’s.

Daring enterprise
A conflict, which forms the framework of all drama, is clearly drawn. This situation expresses the poetry of war, of robbery, of surprise, of desperarate chance; of the clear sighted adventurer, of man unlimited by the halters of civilisation, bold, primordial, pioneering.
There are many ways of extending the central scenario: the methods of tracking the human game, bandit or hero; the forces conspiring for disaster;the conditions that make him the victims of his masters; the ways in which revolt may arise; the alternatives to the chosen enterprise, or the way it is handled, etc. Parts borrowed from other situations may also be grafted on with ease. In how many ways might an expedition, say, be changed by varying the motives, the object of the enterprise, the obstacles met, the qualities of the hero, the interrelations of the three elements. Adventurous travels have hardly been touched on.

Before you go, think about this…
When it comes to science, I’m a true believer. I believe that there is a real world out there that can be apprehended by the human mind—but only if we follow a collection of practices known as the scientific method. The individual mind is too feeble and prone to biases to directly apprehend reality. Even groups of people, left to their own devices, will be prone to biases that depart from reality to serve their collective interests. Science isn’t natural. It is a cultural invention that must be carefully maintained to work properly. When science functions as it should, it does indeed result in objective truths upon which everyone can agree. As far as I am concerned, there can be no higher calling than to be a scientist.
Sociobiologist, David Sloan Wilson
