I think it was Euripides that argued there were only like 18 different plots in all of drama. Alexander Polti put it at 43. Joseph Campbell argued for eight character archetypes and Strauss & Howe broke down all of world history to four types of people. I just don't know if there's a man who wears his name better. I mean, there's a b-movie action star named Dirk Shrapnel but he had to pay for that. Scaramucci? Dude was born wearing a domino.
