On the Threshold of the Resolution: Insight

"As the first developmental focus must take us deep into the story, so the end of the last developmental focus must carry us back out again. It does so by means of the character"s "moment of insight" . . . . The moment of insight, sometimes called a "plot point" in screenplays, occurs at the end of the third developmental focus, either as the climax of that focus or as a realization associated with that climax. It is there, at the end of the third developmental focus, on the threshold of the resolution, that the character visualizes clearly what he must do to solve his problem." (Jon Franklin, WRITING FOR STORY, p. 106)
