funtionieren If literature is to be a writer know what he's doing. Therefore, it is my view essential that any novelist with a dramatic set apart. This is one of the tools of writing, and if trade is perhaps not everything in fiction, yet it is fundamental.
This is the reason why I carried around for years, the little orange Reclam edition of Aristotle's Poetics 
2001 came out a tape of the admittedly sometimes rather dry reading of Aristotle filled suddenly with new life. Ari Hiltunen, his label chief buyer of the Finnish TV station YLE had made it his mission to decipher the poetry, not often by Aristotle undefined term to be filled with life and verify the basis of the modern drama theories. The result was Aristotle in Hollywood a manual, I any authors can only strongly recommend. Suddenly get hamartia and peripeteia , anagnorisis and especially the much katharsis a context that goes far beyond the Greek tragedies. Hiltunen compares Aristotle's approach to Alfred Hitchcock analyzed a series of ER, is the development of romances through and therefore do everything to the old "poetics" to us readers of the 21st Century to make tangible.
are two things I absorbed in reading, among other things: a well-constructed story with all its entanglements should never be fully told in chronological order. Stress in the moment when the act, which witnessed the readers (or viewers), attaches around the last third of the events. This got the figures a rich background, so the reader will be perceived as complex. And the author has the option, etc. by implication, evidence for and after the two-thirds of the story are interwoven in the text that remained untold until now. This procedure is vital for thrillers, in which the protagonist has to find difficulty with the reader the history of a deed. But it works in practice as whatever drama: even Oedipus' story is not so chronologically from his birth to tell, but only sets up where Thebes under crop failure, birth rate, and finally breaks of disease, and the benevolent King Oedipus asks the seer Thereisias for advice, why the hell everything in his city goes. Only now rolling on the drama piece by piece from the back.
A second thing that's come up me in reading Hiltunen: voltage can be generated only if we as readers / viewers can experience both parties to a conflict. We need the recipient superior knowledge that makes us sympathize with the protagonists. Only when we know that the hero of the story is seeing eye to his bad luck - if we know also about the wiles of the antagonist - we can really cheer. Therefore, we are well advised on the structuring of a plot to describe not only the view of the hero, but to describe at least part of history, from the perspective of the antagonist.
Sure, this rule I can think of numerous exceptions in which the story worked well because the threat of such a hero is portrayed through large that we can do without the position of the antagonist safely. The turning points of the action we experience as a surprise, not a suspense. This can dramatically go well. However, we take a useful tool for the generation of tension when we use not the view of the antagonist.
These are just two of several eye-opening experiences I had while reading Hiltunen. Unfortunately, the book is now used only to get, even if the publisher is the time as "the new standard work of dramaturgy" praised. In my opinion, it is worthwhile to look for a used copy of the work. More important to me, at all regularly sit next to his own writing with the theories of writing apart. There are countless books on this subject. Constantly new on the market, and usually change the fact analyzed Plants. I personally do not believe that it is "a method" is, can be written with the sure-fire bestseller. But I am convinced that all authors do well to expand his tools on a regular basis. And that really only works when we look at the theories of dramaturgy in circulation and how we implement this most useful for us.
