Unlock the Secret Formula: 6 Story Arcs That Will Keep Your Audience Glued to Every Word
Examples of the Double Man in a Hole arc include:
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
- Disney’s The Lion King
- And more
Some stories even contain many Man in a Hole arcs—becoming Man in a Hole, Man in a Hole, Man in a Hole ad infinitum. Lord of the Rings and the 6,700-page online serialized novel Worm are examples of this.
4. Icarus / Freytag’s Pyramid (rise then fall)
This is the plot structure Gustav Freytag was interested in when he coined the plot structure now known as Freytag’s Pyramid (contrary to popular belief, Freytag’s Pyramid is not a universal structure for plot, but a description of a single arc). For more on this literary concept (and how it’s since been misunderstood), see our full Freytag’s Pyramid guide here.
