Given that a throughline is a perspective and not a person or character, and that the whole story is an analogy for a human mind, I’m wondering what the Quad Squad has to say regarding the following. Can the story itself express an element rather than using a character to do it?
I’m working through a Reappraisal scene as explored through Deduction, Acceptance, Nonacceptance, and Induction. In the scene, the mom/wife character hangs something on the wall, but it won’t hang straight. In her mind, this is unsettling. She adjusts it, but no matter her efforts, it’s always crooked. She connects this to her family’s future. She goes to deal with a family member and is left even more unsettled. As she leaves the room, she passes the decoration and notices that it’s hanging even worse. Because she has already mentally connected this to her family’s future, the audience should get the idea/the story will Induce that if things continue as is, it will probably go bad for the family. Is that a theoretically sound use of Induction, or no?
