Robert McKee is a renowned author and lecturer who has influenced the work of folks such as John Cleese and William Goldman. His thematic square is a tool for writers to better plot and plan their story’s themes, based on the idea that “Life…is subtle and complex, rarely a case of yes/no, good/evil, right/wrong.”
Try using McKee’s thematic square to improve your own writing! Having a better understanding not only of your theme, but also the characters and plot surrounding it, will only help you write better stories.
