2 Samuel 2:19 "And
Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to
the left from following Abner."
A story begins when a
protagonist wants something and unfolds as we watch her pursue her goal. She
has to overcome obstacles and complications on the way to success.
But most plots allow for
the hero’s goals to change throughout the story as he changes. Someone who is
in relentless pursuit is someone who becomes obsessed with the original goal.
Relentless pursuit does
not allow for flexibility and can create more problems than it solves. A
relentless character may reach her goal, but that doesn’t necessarily make for
a happy ending.
