A 'story element encyclopedia' that allows you to reverse a novel or movie from the 'theme' or 'content'

Mankind has

loved 'story' for thousands of years, and there are stories with various themes in the east and west. Mr. Shigehiko Kamiyama, a professor of literature at Aichi Gakuin University, has published a ' story element encyclopedia ' that allows you to look up works such as movies and novels based on the content and theme of such stories.

When you access the above URL, the following page will open. The index is on the left side of the screen, and the table of contents of the story elements is arranged in alphabetical order on the right side of the screen.

For example, if you click '

Ouroboros ' in the ' U ' list ...

The title of the work dealing with 'Ouroboros' and the outline of the work are displayed in a row.

Ouroboros is composed of the following seven items, and is derived from the original meaning of a snake or dragon that bites its own tail and forms a ring, and deals with 'things that have no beginning or end'. The story is organized and very interesting.

1. 1. Snakes and fish that form a ring with their own tail.
2. A 'woman who gets pregnant with her toes' would be similar to a 'snake holding her tail'.
3. 3. A dog that spins with its own tail.
Four. Insects that feed on their excrement.
Five. A man who throws himself into the pond of his head.
6. A man who falls into his own bottle.
7. 7. A woman who gives birth to herself from her body.

Also, in 'Myth of the South Island' included in '1', the relationship between Ouroboros and earthquakes is drawn, and there was a link to the word 'earthquake', so click on it ...

With this kind of feeling, I will jump to the item 'Weight to prevent earthquakes' in the earthquake. There were two stories linking the earthquake and Ouroboros.

Furthermore, if you click on 'mother-child marriage,' which is the theme of Kokontouzai ...

This is also 'to have a sexual relationship without knowing that they are mothers and sons', 'to have a sexual relationship while knowing that they are both mothers and sons', 'to dream of a sexual relationship with a mother', 'a man' 'Because there is no one, a woman associates with her son' 'Because there is no man, a woman associates with her son and also with her grandchildren' 'Mother and child marriage of the gods' 'A young man is a mother There were various variations such as 'I have sex with an elderly middle-aged woman who is almost the same', and there was also a related link to the item 'Mother reincarnated and married her son'.

The story element encyclopedia deals not only with Japanese stories, but also with Osamu Dazai's 'The

Setting Sun ', Conan Doyle's 'The Sign of the Four ', and Stanley Kubrick's ' Eyes '. It also included foreign novels and movie works such as ' Wide Shut '.

There is an index of authors and works on the left side of the screen ...

When I clicked 'ta' as a trial, the titles of works such as '

Dirty Harry ' and ' Terminator ' were lined up on the right side of the browser. In addition, Dirty Harry was registered as 'Russian roulette' and Terminator was registered as 'elements' such as 'time travel'.
