What does Arsenic and Old Lace have in common with Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle? They're both examples of Kurt Vonnegut's "Man in Hole" story shape, according to a Nieman Storyboard post. The Slaughterhouse-Five author developed his story-shapes model as a master's thesis at the University of Chicago, but it was rejected. It later found new life in a YouTube video and the Nieman post includes interpretations in both text and graphic form.
