Joe's structure analysis
|
Teaser - introduction to Jo's story as author.
|
Begin Act One: introduction to the Marsh girls, past and present. Sequence: Meet the Marsh Girls. |
Sequence: meet how they were then.
|
Sequence: current life is complicated.
|
Act Two begins: the story gets rolling as Jo heads home. Sequence: Christmas with the young Marches. |
Sequence: sad times, happy times.
|
Sequence: Jo and Amy fighting.
|
Sequence: Jo comes home.
|
Sequence: Meg at the ball.
|
Sequence: complications.
|
Act Three: the illness and death of Beth. Sequence: Beth gets sick and Jo cares for her. |
Sequence: key turning points.
|
Sequence: A wedding and a funeral.
|
Sequence: Jo is lonely.
|
Act four: Jo writes Little Women
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3-act structure
|
Note: I've added some possible midpoints, but I don't really think this film has a traditional midpoint. Then again, it's too complex to need one.
|
Inciting incident. Dashwood asks for more stories from Jo.
|
Plot Point 1: Commence Act Two. In the present, Jo goes home. In the past, life gets rolling. (Note that the book starts with the Christmas Morning scene.)
|
Possible midpoint on Jo's anger. But this doesn't really change anything - I doubt there's a true midpoint here.
|
Possible midpoint: Beth gets sick.
|
Possible Midpoint - Beth's death changes the nature of the story like a traditional midpoint. But this is way late for a midpoint - it's a big turning point, but doesn't really work as a midpoint. (I don't think there is a traditional midpoint here.)
|
Plot Point 2: Commence Act Three
|
Climax of Jo's fictional story with Friedrich.
|
Climax of the book-writing story, when Dashwood buys the novel.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Save the Cat Beats
|
Several beats here are missing, including the Debate and the B Story. (Pretty much all the sisters' subplots are B stories, so it's hard to call out just one, and they certainly get started a whole lot sooner than Snyder's prescribed page 30.) And see the note about the midpoint under 3-act structure: there isn't really a strong midpoint here.
|
Opening Image (p1) - Jo, the budding author, enters the man's world of publishing. Catalyst (p12) |
Begin Set-Up (p1)
|
Theme Stated (p5) - "No one gets ink stains like yours just out of a desire for money."
|
End Set-Up (p10)
|
Break into Two (p25)
|
Begin Fun and Games (p30-55)
|
Midpoint (p55), though see the commentary in the 3-act structure row.
|
Bad Guys Close In (p55-75). The bad guy in this case is Beth's death.
|
All is Lost (p75)
|
Dark Night of the Soul (p75-85). This is only Jo in the present. Note that in the past things are still hopeful and generally happy.
|
Break into Three (85)
|
Begin the Finale (p85)
|
Final Image (p110). There's really two final images. Jo's book is the critical final image, for the story of Jo writing a book. But the fictional Jo's story has the final image of the happy school with all the family involved.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hero's Journey
|
A lot of beats don't really fit. Refusal of the call is largely missing. This should be when Jo gives up writing, but that's not a fixed moment. And she doesn't accept the call until Beth asks her to write again, which is long past the normal point in the story. |
The call to adventure. The hero is called on to do something. |
The ordinary world. Establishment of the hero's status quo. The Departure begins. |
Meeting the Mentor. The Hero needs help from someone. Except Jo doesn't really need Friedrich's help - ultimately it's Beth that gives her the advice she needs (to write about their family). But it doesn't make sense to talk about when Jo meets Beth. |
Crossing the First Threshold. The Hero goes on the adventure. Start the Adventure. |
Tests, Allies, Enemies. The Hero faces challenges, meets allies. |
Approach to the Inmost Cave. The Hero gets closer to his goal. In this case, for the first time Jo has written about her family, which is a move towards her goal of being an author. |
Ordeal. The Hero faces his biggest test of all. |
Reward. The Hero sees the light at the end of the tunnel. |
The Road Back. The challenge to get back is harder than it seems. |
Resurrection. The Hero meets the final test. |
The Return. The Hero returns with the prize. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
parallels
|
The film has many parallels between the complicated and often painful present and the idealized happy past. Some events seem to repeat in the two periods. This lane addresses those.
|
Parallel A, present. The first two sequences are both introductions to our characters: as they are now, as they were then. |
Parallel A, past.
|
Parallel B, present. The complications and ugliness of life, but note that while things just work out in the past, in the present the problems linger. |
Parallel B: present. This sequence ends with an ominous message about someone being sick. |
Parallel B, past. There's still a fair amount of chaos and bickering, but Marmee is there to resolve everything. Plus, even the sacrifices in the past are redeemed by a deus ex machina in the form of Mr. Laurence. |
Parallel B: past. The past version of this sequence ends with the letter from their father, a happy message. |
Parallel C: town in the modern time.
|
Parallel C: town in the past
|
Parallel D: The Laurence house, full of life and friends.
|
Parallel D: The Laurence house, empty.
|
Parallel E: Everyone is together, Laurie presents the mailbox.
|
Parallel E: The mailbox is empty.
|
