Assuming this vocabulary: the narrative arc is the arc which makes the plot go forward, while the emotional arc is the arc which engage the character on a deeper, not always logical level. While there are several lists of narrative arcs archetypes, it seems that the emotional arcs are a path less traveled. I think that both are equally important tools for a writer. I'm looking for a list of different emotional arcs archetypes, or several if many different exists (like there are a couple different ones with narrative arcs). Anybody knows about this?
