Coming of Age
Learn something about the world
Grow in maturity
Face a conflict
Character’s growth process begins when he or she is faced with loss or discovery. Character loses innocence and struggles with the knowledge that the (adult) world is a complex place. The “absolutes” of childhood no longer exist; the world is more grey than it is black and white.
Character’s growth is characterized by clashes between personal desires and the “rules” or “social order” of adult society. Character tries to establish his or her own “rules” as he or she attempts to become an active participant in the world.
Character finds his or her place in adult society. Is it a good fit? (It’s not always a comfortable or successful fit.)
