Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 2, 0, Technical University of Darmstadt (Institut für Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: Tales and narratives have appeared in different forms since the birth of
mankind. It has all started with ancient cave paintings that have told stories to
those who have found them. The next step has been the writing on stones, like
the ten commandments of the holy Bible. The writing on paper has been a
progression to the writing on stones and has until today become the most
popular form of narrating and telling stories. During the last century, however,
a new form of providing an audience with narratives has slowly arose, which
has, until today, managed to become quite a competition to books: films and
TV-series. While books are still the most popular medium for telling stories,
TV-series and films have managed to create a steadily growing niche.
This new possibility of telling stories with actors, sound, music and special
effects has become more and more popular. While films always have to hope
for a sequel, which depends on the gross the film has made, TV-series can and
must focus on a narrative sequence from the beginning. It all starts and ends
with seriality.
