Show Notes

Four is a common number for dividing groups in fiction. If you're categorizing characters, those groups often fall into the categories of The Heroic, The Cinnamon Roll, The Nerd, and The Not-So-Bad-Guy. A classic example of this is the Pevensie kids in The Chronicles of Narnia. In this episode, we talk about why this happens and how you can use this trend in your own story.
