Remorse: Georg Polti Plots or Storylines - The 36 Dramatic or Tragic Situations
Abstract
Works on remorse are small in number but are terribly beautiful. There are many varieties of remorse according to the fault committed. 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.
The first law is that the historian shall never dare to set down what is false. The second, that he shall never dare to conceal the truth. The third, that there shall be no suspicion in his work of either favouritism or prejudice.
Works on remorse are small in number but are terribly beautiful. There are many varieties of remorse according to:
the fault committed, eg any crime possible in law, some which are not illegal, real or imaginary intentional or unintentional, or intended but not committed (allowing a happy ending) or intended and committed, premeditated or otherwise, with or without complicity or outside influences or subtlety or whatever;
the nature of the culprit—impressionable or not, or nervous;
the surroundings, the circumstances, the morals which prepare the way for Remorse.
With remorse is connected the fixed idea, recalling madness or criminal passion. It is often remorse for a desire, nourished by the constantly reviving desire, mingling with it, growing with it like a moral cancer, sapping the soul’s vitality to the point of suicide.

The spontaneous remission rate of all cancers, lumped together, is estimated to be something between one in ten thousand and one in a hundred thousand. If no more than five per cent of the 100 million who have come to Lourdes since 1858 were there to treat their cancers, there should have been something between fifty and 500 cures of cancer from spontaneous remission and therefore seeming miraculous. The total of miraculous cures accepted by the Church is about a hundred, and cancers are only about five percent of them, so the rate of spontaneous remission of cancer at Lourdes seems to be lower than if the patients had stayed at home.
