your climactic moment is always going to tell you it's going to prove what your story is really about so if all of your structural moments have been about one thing let's say they've been about a relationship plotline and then you get to the climactic moment and it's about something else it's about um you know catching a bad guy or something those don't match that is an instance where the structural through line is mismatched and you're really trying to tell two different stories and it's fine to have one of those stories as a subplot but the
climactic moment needs to be focused on whatever is the main structural through line as proven by what's happening in all of the previous structural beats so if the that is a primary thing to look at if you feel like your ending isn't working or it's mismatched or the conflicts just kind of petered out um is it in alignment with everything that's come before
