Revision as of 22:55, 30 December 2014

This is one of the simplest ways of naming a work of fiction. Like Character Title, where the story is named after the main character in the story, The Place is where the main location is used as the title. The Place need not be where most of the action is set, it is sufficient for it to be important to the plot. If we don't know that the title is a place until near the end, then this place is The Namesake.

Examples of The Place include:


Anime & Manga


Comics -- Books


Films -- Animation


Films -- Live-Action


Literature


Live-Action TV


Puppet Shows


Video Games


Web Comics


Web Original


Western Animation
