What’s the main dramatic tension?

What will carry us through to the end of act two (and then see us through to the end)?

Maybe it’s the story of how a hateful man comes to love himself (so then he can love others)? The story of how a lonely man who only knows how to take learns that true happiness only comes by being able to give (and then gives what)? The story of how a stubborn man who would rather kill himself than be killed by others (and then what)? The story of how a self made man who lives by stories dies by stories (and then realizes the end is just the beginning)?

The story of how a blindingly ambitious man who’s life turns into a nightmare when his boyhood dreams come true (and so learns to never stop dreaming)?

The story of how a selfish man who’s too scared to change gradually finds the courage to transform his thinking (but it’s too late to turn around his life)?

The story of how a man who wanted to live his life as a movie becomes stuck in the second act (and regrets not seeing what the third act unfolds).

The story of how a vain man interested only in appearances discovers the depths of life (in death).

Make the story whole.
