Guilt for theme -

[lant]

Having browsed previous topics - I hope I am not mistaken - I found no Guilt pertaining to theme.

My question: as a Theme Variation Guilt is not listed - however, under what a Type should Guilt be placed as well as what Character Elements would hold Guilt up from below?

Past and/or Memory seems to pertain to Guilt

Preconscious vs subconscious

Guilt is usually memory. The fragile ego that develops from guilt is subconscious. The preconscious is overreacting to a trigger stimulus with roots in the guilt. Conscious is just why so I feel guilty? (Or where does guilt lie lol)

Also - what do you want to say about Guilt?

Yes, guilt is predominantly found in Memory under Mind - but that’s within the context of the Mind.

When you’re writing a story about Guilt - this could be guilt leading to a Universe Problem, a Physics Problem, a Psychology Problem. Anywhere - and then you have to decide under what context - Overall Story, Main Character, Influence Character, or Relationship Story.
