"The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations: A New, Updated Edition, Augmented with Three Bibliographical Indexes of the Works and Authors Cited in This Volume"
"The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations is a descriptive list which was first proposed by Georges Polti in 1895 to categorize every dramatic situation that might occur in a story or performance. Polti analyzed classical Greek texts, plus classical and contemporaneous French works. He also analyzed a handful of non-French authors. In his introduction, Polti claims to be continuing the work of Carlo Gozzi (1720–1806), who also identified 36 situations." - wikipedia.
