The seven basic plots is a story structure theory developed by Christopher Booker, outlining seven plot archetypes that all stories fall under. In this video, we're looking at these seven plots -- the quest, overcoming the monster, rags to riches, voyage and return, rebirth, tragedy, and comedy.

One of the biggest questions this theory raises is hw absolute it is. Do all stories fit one of these categories? How often does a story defy this theory? In our next video, we'll be debating the conundrum theories like this (and other similar theories) raise about the variance of stories and the meaning of originality in fiction.
