| 1 | !Storms as narrative metaphor |
| 2 | * It's wonderful how closely the timeline of a thunderstorm aligns with a narrative tension-and-release structure. You start out with a HeatWave stressing everyone out as the pressure builds up (''introduction to the imminent threat''), with everyone simultaneously dreading the climax and wishing it was over with. People either prepare for the storm, run away, or stubbornly ignore it (''the hero's reaction to the CallToAdventure''). Then the storm breaks; CueTheRain, DramaticThunder, lightning, all the hallmarks of an [[BattleInTheRain epic confrontation]] (''climax''). Finally, as suddenly as it started, it's over -- there's damage, but people can rebuild and recover (''{{denouement}}''). CueTheSun lighting up a rainbow of hope for the future. |
