Question: Do character driven plots adhere to the rules of the 3 Act Structure!?
There are subtle conflicts, and the climaxes just aren't as dramatic as conflict driven plots!. But what I'm concerned about is whether the 3 act structure requires more than that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Generally, yes! Most stories, whether plot- or character-driven adhere to the three act structure, even if it's just loosely!. The first act break, midpoint, second act break, and climax are transferable into any sort of plot!. Even a character-driven story should have a plot! Plot and character development are both needed for a good story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
