Comprehensive Novel Analysis "Anna Karenina" Example

@mlucas recently asked about the next evolution of Muse – “Narrato” – and asked if it could do longer-than-screenplay analysis.

Picked the longest one I knew off-hand (Anna Karenina) - and uploaded to the alpha we’re building. ~900 pages at 5.9MB - so its a good test.

I have yet to add specific citations so you can exactly where it’s drawing from, but behind the scenes, these quotes were pulled from the text:


Interesting! I would’ve definitely sided with Option B as “the” Storyform (after all, she’s the title of the book) - but still fascinating to see it pick up on a possible secondary storyform (or sub-storyform).

The fact that the Option B had OS in Mind and MC in Psychology TOTALLY sounds right (and is probably typical of many novels). Especially with the RS in Universe - but interesting that, while it was effortless for it to find the Domains for the second option rather easily, the first one it struggled to align it all up properly (both MC and OS are in Mind) – another hint that this is not the Storyform of the novel.
