Masters Thesis

A study on narratology by looking at how story develops, moves, and makes meaning through structure and cognitive processing in different disciplines

The intention of this thesis is to discuss the ideas of narratology in reference to different disciplines, and to show how the topic of narratology moves through to help people develop and understand the world around them. To start the discussion, there will be a literature review that covers the theories around the structure of narrative followed by the cognitive development in making meaning in narrative. These theories will be used to discuss how story and the working memory aid in writing development, how meaning making is derived from classic tales such as Cinderella and lastly, how these different disciplines become tangible in areas like legal discourse.
