Five Acts

The Five Acts refer to a structured framework widely used in storytelling, especially in theater, film, and literature. They divide a story into five parts: Act 1 introduces characters and the setting; Act 2 builds conflict and develops the plot; Act 3 features a turning point or climax; Act 4 explores consequences and rising tension; and Act 5 resolves the story with a conclusion. This structure helps create a compelling, coherent narrative arc, ensuring character development, tension buildup, and resolution are effectively paced for engaging storytelling.
