Structural Analysis of the Aesop's Fables


Objectives

This wiki analyzes Aesop's Fables with a structural model of narrative called "GOTSEC model". GOTSEC stands for Goal, Obstacle, Tasks, Side-Effects and Characters. The models aims to capture the deep structure of a narrative, its core meaning [3]. It is a product of 15 years of research in Interative Drama by Nicolas Szilas and colleagues.

The GOTSEC model aims at formalizing dramatic situations, as defined by E. Souriau [2]. It considers that a dramatic situation is described as a graph containing a limited set of nodes and relations of different types[4]. Via these nodes and relations, dramatic situations are described syntactically, to provide a higher generative power.

Content

The 20 first Aesop's Fables (V.S. Vernon Jones English translation) have been analyzed. For each fable, we have provided:

  • The visual representation of the structural graph, possibly separated in successive situations. Please refer to the GOTSEC model to find the legend of the graphs.
  • The dramatic cycles. Dramatic cycles are subparts of a graph that represent paradoxes, according to Bill Nichols approach [1]. These cycles correspond to "conflicts". A dramatic cycle is coded as a pair of two paths, the positive path and the negative path.
