  • [a rule of the story structure, which states that] the first culmination (or midpoint) and the main culmination (end of act two) are in contrast with each other. If the script has a tragic midpoint and ending, then the protagonist should have a major victory at the end of the second act. (International Screenwriters' Association, 2017)
