narrative analysis tools in Logos
Does Logos have access to narrative analysis tools other than passage analysis?

There are a couple of interactives oriented towards narrative - Bible people visual timelines and Narrative character maps. Some of the event oriented labels, semantic roles, discourse analysis, and figurative speech coding are useful but in general Logos is not narrative oriented. One can use Canvas in some instances.
What narrative analysis tools are you looking for? motifs? type scenes? verbal oceans (requirement that exist before another verb can be used e.g. you cannot sell something before you own it or make it)? narrative flow (climax, denouement)? character analysis? narratology? rhetorical? archetypical? Girardian analysis? Griemas analysis? (Bakhkin, Levi-Strauss, Bal, Barthes, narrative theology? ...)
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

character analysis
Character analysis - Logos gathers raw data together (e.g. all names known by, all references to, genealogies, places associated with ...) in Factbook. Semantic roles can be useful as well.
Rhetorical analysis - Logos has some commentaries with a rhetorical emphasis, two figurative speech analysis with different models, discourse analysis ... to get you started.
Narratology - at the moment primarily Jewish authors come to mind - Alter, Kugel, Bal, Sternberg, Halbertal ... Logos is weak on resources as well as analysis tools.
