Abstract
A moral is a vital part of the story and is vital for both the author and the audience. However, moral-based story planning is relatively underexplored. This paper proposes a planning-based Simple Automated Narrative Generator framework that explicitly considers the moral input and plans the story events around it. To achieve that, we determine the character's emotional arc based on the polarity of the input moral and then plan the events that adhere to the emotional arc. In the experiment of 103 human evaluators and 35 generated narratives for 7 morals, we find encouraging normalized confidence of 0.86 for intended moral being conveyed by the narratives and reasonable confidence of 0.71 for selecting the narratives with morals versus without morals.
