Georges Polti wrote the original 36 Dramatic Situations in the 1850s in French. Polti synthesized all drama as a mixture of 36 situations.

When Figgis used the book as an aid in setting up a film treatment, he found that his creativity landscape had changed quite radically

That ideas came forward with relative ease. He realized that the book of Polti was a reference system that might be a powerful tool for writers. So he started updating all the references, moving the focus away from the theatre and mainly focusing on cinema.
