I've since found it referenced in many places, so that's my source.<br /><br />A very cool coincidence that there are 37 plays by Shakespeare and, so far, 37 dramatic situations. He tended to repeat situations and there are several he never used, though. A Midsummer's Night Dream and Romeo and Juliet have the same situation, for example. Their big difference comes at the turning point where Midsummer continues as a comedy and R&J turns toward tragedy.<br /><br />Personally, I think missing person is actually already covered in the Polti's 36. Depending on the rest of the plot, it could fit under Abduction or The Enigma. With a stretch, it could also fit under some others.<br /><br />Diana :)<br />Diana Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822908285490316742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712263.post-8293164723523285982012-09-06T04:14:00.432-04:002012-09-06T04:14:00.432-04:00Some websites say: the 37th dramatic situation is ...Some websites say: the 37th dramatic situation is the mistaken identity, but the other some say: the 37th dramatic theme is the missing person (in the 37 plays of William Shakespeare)<br />Which one you think is the right, Diana?<br />Another question: who did define (mistaken identity) as the 37th dramatic situation?<br />http://dianahunter.blogspot.com/2012/03/36-dramatic-situations.htmlZahra Youssryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196371602062730941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712263.post-51781715325593726052012-09-06T04:08:14.767-04:002012-09-06T04:08:14.767-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Zahra Youssryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196371602062730941noreply@blogger.com
