Objective Story Response

Element

the direction of efforts in the Objective Story

Characters do the best they can to deal with the Objective Story Problem, but because the Objective Story Characters of a story are all looking at the problem from their subjective point of view, they can't get enough distance to actually see the problem right away. Instead they focus on the effects of the problem, which is called the Objective Story Symptom, and choose to follow what they feel will be a remedy, which is called the Objective Story Response.
