I think 'voyage and return' and 'rebirth' may be the hardest to pull off in terms of having a compelling plot and still resolving things in a satisfactory way. Because the internal conflict is just as important as external as opposed to just having the internal bolster or amplify the external conflict in other types of stories.

I wondered if there could be a combination of the above. Like there's a rebirth due to the overcoming the monster. Just a thought. Thanks so much girls for always an outstanding job on your blog.
