plot - The seven story archetypes. Are they truly all of them?


The seven archetypes are as follows:



Overcoming the Monster.


Rags to Riches.



The Quest.


Voyage and Return.


Comedy.


Tragedy.


Rebirth.



But surely, there are more? For example, riches to rags? That is one, right? Or would that go into another one, like rebirth, tragedy or even overcoming the monster, the monster being poverty?


What I'm asking is: Are the seven archetypes all of them, or simply the most common, fundamental ones?
