ABSTRACT
Writers of film, television, games, and even comic books have often bristled at the idea of needing dramatic structure in their medium. While structure is the skeleton that must be present to create a living, breathing narrative, it is the flesh, hair, and features that truly make a creation unique. While potentially having a variety of meanings in a narrative, irony refers to the ending of a story and the relationship between the external narrative and the internal narrative. An unexpected magical opportunity or gifting is most effective when the narrative has already established that a protagonist's life is either monotonous or difficult. When the life of the protagonist is thrown into chaos by the arrival of an unexpected force, he or she must choose to confront the emerging enemy or lose what is important to them. Inciting incidents in which a missing piece of the protagonist's life is introduced usually present this piece in the form of another person.
