Dark Moment

Read Luke 22-24

Luke 23:46 "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

The dark moment, also known as the black moment, takes place just before the third act of our fiction piece. It’s when all is lost, the characters have tried everything and failed, and they are facing certain defeat.

The protagonist may be alone—all her allies may have deserted her or been killed. She may be ready to give up at this low point.

The reader or viewer should also be worried at this point that the story is going to end badly. If the reader gauges how many more pages the story still has to go, or the viewer can see there is still some time before the show is over, they should not get too depressed to continue to the end.
