A "Redemption Arc" is a narrative structure in storytelling where a character experiences a significant transformation, moving from a negative or morally questionable state to a more positive or virtuous one. This journey often involves facing the consequences of their past actions, seeking forgiveness, and ultimately striving to make amends. Commonly found in literature, film, and television, a redemption arc can add depth to characters, making them more relatable and complex. Examples include characters like Darth Vader from the Star Wars franchise or Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, who both undergo profound changes that lead to personal growth and redemption.
