I'm finding the Outcome
a tough one to pin down. I think it's because I can't really define the Story Goal
.
We agreed on this as the OS Throughline Summary:
I also wrote this, which is basically another way of stating the same thing:
OS Throughline story is: "Ensuring everyone supports the King (in his divorce, new marriage to Anne Boleyn, as head of the Church, etc.)"
But it's a bit tricky to go from OS Throughline summary to Goal, and from there to Outcome. Was the goal preventing everyone from Bending to the Marriage, or ensuring that everyone bends? (EDIT: the neat thing about this story is that because everyone else bends, More becomes the symbolic 'last resistance' to bending / taking the Oath; but the OS is still kind of about everyone's decision to bend, and the why and how of it.)
Or was it more specific, something to do with conscience perhaps, like "trying to get everyone to nail down their opinion based on their own consciences, rather than changing their minds all the time based on which way the wind is blowing". (Not sure if that fits as a Goal,but it was partially informed by the line Brant already quoted, More saying to Roper "We must just pray that when your head's finished turning, your face is to the front again.")
Am I overthinking here? Is there some way to determine Outcome
when you don't know the Story Goal
?
