Any story is the quest to fulfil a human desire. We have identified universal quests for every human desire. These universal quests reveal the invisible plot structure of stories. An analysis of Blockbuster, Hit & Flop plots led to the discovery of Mythosis Code. The Code reveals the story principles shared by all Blockbusters. We use the Code to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.
All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. Last Journey of Demeter has 4 universal quests of Family, Preservation, Honour & Power
In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. Elliott – Family, Clemens – Preservation, Anna – Honour & Dracula – Power
Every Blockbuster character borrows at least 35% of the universal quest. Elliott borrows 6% of the quest of Family. Clemens borrows 19% of the quest of Preservation. Anna borrows 24% of the quest of Honour whereas Dracula borrows 12% of the quest of Power.
Blockbusters interweave different quests to create a tight plot structure. Interweaving occurs when events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Blockbusters have a quest interweaving threshold of 0.5. Last Journey of Demeter’s quest interweaving of 0.17 is below par. Only the quests of Clemens & Anna are interwoven, here is an example
Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas Last Journey of Demeter script score is 0.01. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 0.26-0.32% of the population.

The Last Journey of Demeter borrows 93% of its events from 4 mythological tales
At Mythosis, we have identified 32 mythological tales. Each mythological tale uniquely represents a human quest to fulfil a desire. These tales are the super set of thousands of tales across cultures.
We have codified the events of each mythological tale. Every tale has 5 major arcs. Each arc has a sequence of events. These events culminate into a major event. Here is the mapping of each character’s quest to the major events in their respective mythological tale.
Quest 1: Elliott mirrors 6% of Oedipus’ quest for Family (below threshold of 35%)
Elliott’s desire for Family stems from his need to nurture & protect. The tale of Oedipus from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Family.
Quest 2: Clemens mirrors 19% of Noah’s quest for Preservation (below threshold of 35%)
Clemens’ desire for Preservation stems from his need to survive a threat. The tale of Noah from Abrahamic mythology is the universal quest for Preservation.
Quest 3: Anna mirrors 24% of Hanuman’s quest for Honour (below threshold of 35%)
Anna’s desire for Honour stems from her need to be loyal to a clan or order. The tale of Hanuman from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Honour.
Quest 4: Dracula mirrors 12% of Circe’s quest for Power (below threshold of 35%)
Dracula’s desire for Power stems from his need to dominate others. The tale of Circe from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Power
