One type is the 'love - triangle' story. It involves three people where two are in love with the same person or there are complex feelings among them. An example could be many soap opera storylines. Also, the 'self - love' story is becoming more popular. It's about a person learning to love themselves first before being able to fully love someone else. This can involve a journey of self - acceptance and growth.
Sure. The story of Cinderella is a kind of love story. It's a fairy - tale love where a poor girl meets a prince and they fall in love. Another example is the love story in 'Pride and Prejudice'. It shows how two people with different personalities and social standings gradually come to love each other. Also, there are modern love stories like those in romantic comedies, where two people meet in a funny or unexpected way and fall in love.
Sure. For man vs. man, in 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe, Montresor has a conflict with Fortunato. Man vs. self can be seen in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' where the narrator struggles with her own mental state. In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Scout faces man vs. society as she witnesses the unjust treatment of Tom Robinson. And for man vs. nature, 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway is a great example where the old man battles the sea to catch the fish.
Portal fantasy? 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is a well - known one, where Alice falls through the rabbit hole into a strange and wonderful world. Magical realism? 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez is filled with magical events in the otherwise normal - seeming town of Macondo, like a character ascending to heaven while doing the laundry.
Take 'The Necklace'. Mathilde Loisel is the protagonist. She is a dynamic character as she changes from being a vain woman longing for a luxurious life to a hard - working, worn - out woman. Her husband is also a character, a static one in a way as he remains loyal and practical throughout. The friend who lends her the necklace can be seen as a minor character.
There are adventure short stories, for example, 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell. It's full of action and danger. And then there are moral - lesson short stories. Aesop's fables are a good example. They are short tales that teach a moral or a lesson through the actions and consequences of the characters.
Sure. Mystery fiction like 'Sherlock Holmes' series. Science fiction has 'Dune'. Fantasy has 'The Lord of the Rings'.
Sure. A story about a serial killer is a type of darkness story. The killer's actions are full of darkness as they take innocent lives. Another example is a story set in a dystopian future where the government is oppressive and controls people in a very dark way. Also, a horror story about a haunted house with evil spirits is a different kind of darkness story.
Sure. For the first type, the slasher horror stories are a good example. Think of movies like 'Friday the 13th' where a masked killer hunts down a group of people. It's a more straightforward kind of horror that plays on our fear of physical danger and sudden death.
One example could be a story where a new girl in school catches the eye of the star athlete. They start off as friends, but gradually develop feelings for each other.
