I have a couple of questions regarding the “Story Goal.” I have heard mentions toward goals for all four through lines in addition to some mentions toward the “Story Goal.” It is mentioned in the Dramatica Theory book that characters that fit into the element archetypes, such as protagonist, antagonist, contagonist, skeptic, etc are concerned with the “Story Goal.” For example, the protagonist and whatever complex characters that have those same elements pursue the “Story Goal.” What I would like to know is which of the through line goals or concerns are considered the “Story Goal.” Is it the Overall Goal or can it be a different one?

Typically the Overall Story Goal is considered the “Story Goal”.
