PLOT POINT 2:

Proactive Protagonist

Each of our examples up until now have been toward the beginning of the protagonist's Character Arc. Consequently, these particular protagonists have not reached the point in their arcs where they are proactive in the story's main conflict. **

However, Jane is an extremely proactive protagonist.** As seen in the way she stands up to her aunt and the way she continues to express her views at Lowood.

Story Goal

Jane's Story Goal of finding a home and family is present here. However, it quickly becomes apparent that Lowood will not satisfy that goal.

She finds a friend, as well as intense rejection, but ultimately leaves with no home.

Brush with Antagonist

Jane's antagonist is her belief that she is unworthy of love. This is touched on in the Inciting Incident with the harsh schoolmaster and her continued message that she must earn her love through service and changing who she is.

Rochester is also an antagonist for Jane, but he is not present in this Plot Point.

Question for the Climactic Moment

The question posed here is, Will Jane find a place that accepts and loves her for who she is?

This is answered in the Climactic Moment when Jane accepts herself fully and is then willing to let in love.
