Abduction: Georg Polti Plots or Storylines - The 36 Dramatic or Tragic Situations
Abstract
Abduction relates to Rivalry and Jealousy, and some situations overlap with Recovery of a lost loved one. Love is not necessarily the motive of the abduction as the last subcategory shows. 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.
Sixty of the sixty five million years of domination of the earth by mammals elapsed before the intelligent model went into the prototype stage, but then in only about five million years technological society evolved.
Abduction relates to Rivalry and Jealousy, and some situations overlap with Recovery of a lost loved one. Love is not necessarily the motive of the abduction as the last subcategory shows. The Abduction of a Woman has much dramatic potential—extreme eroticism, premeditated violation, manic passion and overexcitation, the murder of the violated victim, regrets before the corpse, the horror and drama of dismemberment or concealment of the body, the perpetrator’s disgust for life and his blunders that lead to his discovery.
Selfishness has evolved so that creatures will try to preserve themselves whatever happens. It is fine for solitary creatures, fine for coyotes but what about wolves. Wolves are not solitary but dwell in packs. Wolves and coyotes are scarcely different species and can be made to interbreed, but they do not do so in the wild. Wolves have differentiated from coyotes because wolves are social and coyotes are loners. Among primates, gorillas are essentially solitary, living in familes, but chimpanzees are social, living in bands. Human beings are social. But there is in humanity a conflict between selfishness and altruism. Social animals have to be altruistic, to sacrifice something for society to give group living some evolutionary advantage. The accusation of evil is much to do with this psychological conflict. The individual against society, the individual as hero, is a constant modern theme, but so too is the loner, the psycho defying society and trying to undermine it. Which is right?
