John 13:21 "When
Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."
One of the most dramatic
plot twists is the betrayal. A trusted person close to the protagonist betrays
her to her enemies. Or maybe she is the one who does the betraying.
It can bring lots of
suspense as the readers watch the steps the betrayer is taking and can’t do
anything to warn the hero. Or the reader watches the hero sinking into the role
of betrayer and can’t do anything to stop him and keep him from making this
terrible mistake.
Another way to go is when the betrayal is an accident. The betrayer didn’t mean to betray his friend and spends the majority of the story trying to undo the damage, right the wrong, or turn the tables on the enemy and be the rescuer.
