List of narrative techniques
A narrative technique (also known more narrowly for literary fictional narratives as a literary technique, literary device, or fictional device) is any of several specific methods the creator of a narrative uses to convey what they want[1]—in other words, a strategy used in the making of a narrative to relay information to the audience and, particularly, to "develop" the narrative, usually in order to make it more complete, complicated, or interesting. Literary techniques are distinguished from literary elements, which exist inherently in works of writing.

The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations
The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations is a descriptive list which was created by Georges Polti to categorize every dramatic situation that might occur in a story or performance. To do this Polti analyzed classical Greek texts, plus classical and contemporaneous French works. He also analyzed a handful of non-French authors. In his introduction, Polti claims to be continuing the work of Carlo Gozzi, who also identified 36 situations. Publication history[edit] “Gozzi maintained that there can be but thirty-six tragic situations. This list was published in a book of the same name, which contains extended explanations and examples. The list is popularized as an aid for writers, but it is also used by dramatists, storytellers and many others. The 36 situations[edit] Each situation is stated, then followed by the necessary elements for each situation and a brief description. See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

Schéma actantiel
Un personnage, le héros, poursuit la quête d'un objet. Les personnages, événements, ou objets positifs qui l'aident dans sa quête sont nommés « adjuvants ». Les personnages, événements ou objets négatifs qui cherchent à empêcher sa quête sont nommés « opposants ». La quête est commanditée par un émetteur (ou destinateur, ou énonciateur — voir l'article énonciation), au bénéfice d'un destinataire. Dans le schéma actantiel de Greimas, les rôles actantiels, c'est-à-dire, à proprement parler, les « actants », ne doivent en aucun cas être confondus avec des « acteurs ». le sujet et l'objet sont situés sur l'axe du désir (ou de la quête) ;le destinateur et le destinataire sont situés sur l'axe de la communication ;les adjuvants et les opposants sont situés sur l'axe du pouvoir (pouvoir positif dans le cas des adjuvants, négatif dans le cas des opposants). Le schéma actantiel doit être complété par la théorie des trois épreuves, ou étapes formelles, de tout récit (sur un axe temporel) :
