The Scope of Dramatica

With all these forms of communication, isn't Dramatica severely limited in addressing only the Grand Argument Story? No. The Grand Argument model described by Dramatica works to present all the ways a mind can look at an issue. As a result, all other forms of communication will be using the same pieces, just in different combinations, sequences, or portions. In our example, we suggested the less we said the more the audience could use its imagination.

A Grand Argument Story says it all. It makes every point, even if hidden obscurely in the heart of an entertainment. Other forms of communication use "slices" of the model, chunks, or levels. Even if an author is unaware of this, human minds share common essential concepts. This means the author communicates using concepts and patterns found in the Dramatica model.
