CHAPTER

The Armature of Storytelling

This chapter explores the pivotal concept of 'armature' in storytelling, likening it to a skeleton that supports a narrative's structure. Through personal anecdotes and examples like 'Jurassic Park,' the speakers illustrate how the armature guides character development and enriches the story's integrity. They also delve into the hero's journey and the necessary wisdom gained from confronting dark experiences, drawing parallels to the 'land of the dead.'
