The Dramatica Genre quad sees four Perspectives of narrative: Entertainment, Comedy, Drama, and Information Says @jhull in a narrative first article.
How does the genre quad relate to the four classes and tkad?
Information - universe - knowledge
Drama - mind - thought
Comedy - psychology - desire
Entertainment - physics - ability
The Modes of Expression are actually found in each of the Domains. From Melanie’s post on how they developed Dramatica:
the Physics Class could be presented as a Drama (Action Drama), as Comedy (Physical Comedy), as Entertainment (Thrills) or as Information (How it Works). Going along the Comedy line, Comedy and Universe created (Situation Comedy), Comedy and Physics created (Physical Comedy), Comedy and Mind created (Comedy of Manners) and Comedy and Psychology created (Comedy of Errors).
thanks. I’ve never deliberately used the genre quad. I’m going to experiment with it and see what comes out.
