Ten Story Types: Romance

From the book 'From Stories To Themes' that looks at ten story types, I have identified that my film opening and plot will run along the idea of The Romance.
This is when:

• A Character is seen to be emotionally lacking/missing something/someone. - In my story, Ruby is shown to have a false ego.
• Something/someone is seen by the Character as a potential solution to this problem. - When a boy (thought to be an Ex) from Ruby's past turns up in place far from where they grew up/last been together, Ruby is scared to let her real personality shine through, however, he is able to break this false character that she holds and allows her to let go of bad memories.
• Barriers exist to the Character achieving a resolution with the object of desire. - Her stubborn personality and past experiences with her ex disallow her to explore her reasons for her false personality.
• The Character struggles to overcome these barriers. - Later on, Ruby's friends will try advise her that he is bad for her and make her try to hate him more, even though he is trying to make her see his change.
• The Character succeeds in overcoming some, if not all, of the barriers. - Ruby realises that her friends are partially to blame for her false character and can let her true self free with her ex.
• The story is complete when the Character is seen to have resolved their emotional problem and unites with the object of desire. - Ruby is able to put her past behind her and dates her ex again. With her old personality gone and no more demons around every corner, she can live her life as peacefully as life can be.
