Design a scene where the character achieves the opposite of their goal: Character: {{character}} Character Goal: {{goal}} Context: {{context}} Reversal Design: 1. GOAL ESTABLISHMENT - Make clear what character wants - What tactics will they use? - What is their confidence level? 2. THE APPROACH - Show character executing their plan - Initial signs of progress - Why do they believe it is working? 3. THE PIVOT - What goes wrong? - Is it their fault or circumstance? - When do they realize? 4. THE REVERSAL - How do they end up with opposite of goal? - What irony exists? - What have they learned (or not)? 5. AFTERMATH - What is their response to failure? - What new problem is created? - Where does this propel them next? 6. THE SCENE - Write full scene from goal through reversal - The reversal should feel earned, not random - Character should still be sympathetic
