Everything Is a Remix

Read the 1955 book HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES by Joseph Campbell. All mythology, oral, written and film, are all based on the same principal archetypes.
 
There are 7 archetypes for stories. Everything else is details.

1. The quest
2. Voyage and Return
3. Rebirth
4. Comedy
5. Tragedy
6. Overcoming the Monster
7. Rag to Riches
