This is an updated version of my diagram on story structure. I’ve pulled together information on story structure from a number of different sources to identify aspects of story structure that are common to many of them.

This chart includes information on story structure from Aristotle’s three-act structure, Freytag’s five-act structure, Snyder’s 15-beat model (Save the Cat), Campbell (Hero’s Journy), Murdock (Heroine’s Journey), Vogler (Inner and Outer Journey), and Schmidt’s (Feminine and Masculine Journey).
