  3. 03Stakes: what they lose if they fail
  4. 04Irony: why them, why now

How the dramaturg reads it

Protagonist

A role or trait that makes them specific, not a name. "A stained-glass restorer" already tells you how she sees the world.

Goal

An action you can film that has an end point. "Find the truth" is vague; "piece together the last night" is not.

Stakes

What happens if they fail, said plainly. It is why the audience stays to the end.

Irony

The contrast that makes the story inevitable: the least suited character facing the problem that tests them most.
