Structural Analysis

1. Protocol Fiction Mapping (Summer of Protocols)#

• Render a Rule: The biological symbiosis between Ina and humans—Ina need human blood, humans become addicted to Ina venom, living longer but losing autonomy.
• Rehearse a Failure Mode: The system breaks down when racism and purity politics within the Ina hierarchy lead to the slaughter of Shori's family, threatening the biological stability of the species.
• Reveal a Human Insight: The terrifying ease with which humans will trade their free will for physical pleasure, extended life, and a sense of belonging.

2. Actantial Model (A.J. Greimas)#

• Subject: Shori
• Object: Survival, justice for her family, and the validation of her genetic existence.
• Sender (Destinator): The biological imperative to live, and the legacy of her mothers' genetic engineering.
• Receiver (Destinatee): Shori, her symbiotes, and the progressive faction of the Ina.
• Helper: Wright (her first symbiote), the Gordon family, her legal counsel.
• Opponent: The Silk family (the racist Ina faction).

3. Todorov's Equilibrium Model#

• Mapping pending standard analysis.

4. The Freytag Pyramid#

• Exposition: Amnesia. Climax: The Ina trial.

5. Propp's Morphology of the Folktale#

• Narratemes: Hero survives attack, builds clan.

6. Genette’s Narrative Discourse#

9. Save the Cat! Beat Sheet#
