The catastrophe, however, always already contains the kernels of the messianic.  >The Second Disaster comes approximately at the middle of Act 2, roughly 50% of the way into your story. Your lead Character has spent the first half of Act 2 trying to achieve their Storygoal, but they've been pursuing a path that won't work. The Second Disaster is a bad thing that happens at the midpoint of the story that forces your Character to try a new approach. This new approach will actually work. ![[Catastrophe and survival Walter Benjamin]]
