The final plotline, Plot 7 (Fig. 13), has no inverse. Kurt Vonnegut has called this the “man in hole story”5; Booker calls it Overcoming the Monster. It is often about a hero and a bad guy where there is some threat to a person or a culture that must be eliminated. The threat might be a dragon or a disease, a situation or a system, but the main character is forced to take it on and then change his or her fortunes back to good.
