The Dark Night of the Soul - Part 3

The question to the prota nist of whether or not he really wants the plot goal enough to tackle this final and most fearsome obstacle will always be yes. This is true even if the character fails to choose properly between the lie and the truth. What is important is that the protagonist either gains, or seems to gain, what she is trying for. The problem is that she is trying to push through to the end from a place that lacks total integrity.
