Three-act Structure

In your own words, summarize each act of the three-act structure and explain what its role in the story is.

    The three-act structure splits the story into three sections and follows the character arc of the protagonist. The first act is the setup where everything is established. This includes the exposition where the characters, setting, conflict, and premise of the story is given to the audience. In the first act, the inciting incident happens and the act typically lasts the first quarter. The second act is the confrontation where the protagonist has to overcome obstacles in their journey. There are often also a moment where it seems like the protagonist is going to win before everything falls apart as well as their lowest moment. The third and final act is the resolution. This act includes the climax of the story, the falling action, and the ending.
