    From Harry Potter and Romeo and Juliet to the stories of
    Oedipus and Icarus, almost every tale told conforms to
    one of just six plots, researchers have claimed.

    A major new analysis of over 1,700 stories identified the
    core plots 'which form the building blocks of complex
    narratives'.

    Researchers used complex data-mining to locate words
    linked to positive or negative emotion in each story to
    reveal the set of arcs.
