i think any attempt to say "all stories have these elements" beyond extremely broad strokes is inevitably going to fail honestly. there's always going to be an exception. they're not even difficult to find considering a lot of classics have non-traditional story structures. trying to find a common thread between Every Story Ever is just an extremely limiting way to do comparative analysis
