1. Who is the protagonist of the story? What are the conflicts? Is the main conflict between good and evil sharply differentiated, or is it more subtle and complex?
2. Is the story interesting? Does the plot have unity? Are all the events relevant to the total meaning or effect of the story? Does each event grow logically out of the preceding incident and lead naturally to the next? Is the ending happy, unhappy, or undetermined? Is it fairly the story?
4. To what extent is this a “formula” story?
