In each of these stories the Main Character remains steadfast in an attempt to solve the story's problem. Dramatica refers to this concept of story structure as the Main Character Resolve. Main Characters end up either adopting a new point-of-view or holding fast to a point-of-view close to their hearts. While they can waver throughout a story, in the end they will choose one direction or the other.
Does your Main Character Change or Remain Steadfast?

Dramatica is the only writer's tool that can tell you things about your story you didn't tell it. You provide the idea—maybe a character sketch or two, perhaps even a hint of theme—and Dramatica helps you pull it all together into one cohesive powerful work. By offering you suggestions that mesh thematically with what you already have, Dramatica helps plug plot holes, solidifies character interactions and helps complete your story in such a way that it will resonate with your audience long after they've left the theater or long after they've put your book down.
(P.S.—We know Shakespeare didn't use Dramatica, but it sure seems like he did!)
