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.
Plot structure of The Covenant relies on only 2 universal quests unlike Blockbusters which use at least 3. Moreover, The Covenant doesn’t interweave the quests which makes the movie appear as two stories.

96% events in The Covenant are borrowed from 2 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: Ahmad mirrors 48% of Hanuman’s quest for Honour (above threshold of 35%)

Ahmad’s desire for Honour stems from his need for loyalty towards clan or order. The tale of Hanuman from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Honour.
The Covenant Ahmad mirrors Hanuman's quest for Honour

Quest 2: John mirrors 26% of Jason’ quest for Expedition (below threshold of 35%)
