The idea of alignment patterns is based on Smith’s structures of alignment. Smith differentiates detective narration and melodramatic narration as typical alignment structure. In detective narration, knowledge is restricted to a protagonist, while in melodramatic narration the viewer knows more than any single character. (Smith, 1995, pp. 152–153.) The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.
