I picked up a book written in the 1890's, over "cien anos" (100 years) ago, called "The thirty-six dramatic situations" by Georges Polti. It's a list of the 36 dramatic situations that cover all published literature and plays across the main Western and Eastern cultures. The brouhaha with Mr. NoName is dramatic situation #1. #1 Supplication (Elements: a Persecutor, a Supplicant, and a Power in authority, whose decision is doubtful). #2 Deliverance (Elements: an Unfortunate, a Threatener, a Rescurer). #3 Crime Pursued by Vengeance (Elements: an Avenger and a Criminal). Sometimes Tijuana is overwhelming. It's got it all and we've got #1. Regards, |
