Redemption arc

A redemption arc is a narrative structure commonly found in storytelling where a character undergoes significant personal growth after making serious mistakes or gravely wronging others. Initially, the character might be portrayed as flawed or villainous, but through reflection, challenges, and positive actions, they seek to make amends and improve themselves. This journey often involves facing consequences, gaining insight, and ultimately striving for forgiveness from those they hurt, making it a compelling tale of transformation and hope. The arc highlights themes of accountability, personal change, and the possibility of a second chance.
