2 Corinthians 7:5
"For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were
troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears."
The showdown is the final
battle between the protagonist and antagonist that occurs in Act 3. It’s the
culmination of all the struggles, failures, and efforts of the story’s hero.
It has to be the biggest
confrontation in the story. All the gains the protagonist has had throughout
the story, all the lessons learned, and all the skills acquired will be used to
defeat the antagonist.
Not all stories have happy endings where the protagonist wins and the antagonist loses, but most do. When the hero is defeated, it might also mean there is a sequel or the defeat is somehow turned into a victory by the hero’s allies—possibly a sacrifice on the part of the hero to save his family or friends.
