Dramatica sees the central character of a story–the Main Character–entering with a predetermined way of doing things. Along the way they develop a relationship with their polar opposite, someone who challenges their way of thinking. Ultimately, this relationship leads the Main Character towards adopting or rejecting this new way of seeing things. The result of their decision determines whether they were on the right path or the wrong path.

That’s really it. Of course then you can get into Overall Story Prerequisites, Relationship Story Catalysts, and Problem-Solving Styles…but only if you really want to!
