The Redemption Arch

Create a character starting from the depths of despair or wrongdoing, that slowly works their way towards redemption.

Drama stories often involve characters who are deeply flawed or compromised and take them on a journey towards redemption. This journey of self-reckoning, healing, and transformation can be incredibly meaningful for both the character and the reader. Write about your character’s past mistakes, how they cope with the consequences, and the struggles they undergo to redeem themselves. This prompt encourages you to explore themes like guilt, regret, forgiveness, and redemption.
