What is a technique that could describe the point at which a character achieves some level of self-realisation/discovery?

 

[Sarah168]

language technique? film technique? I dont get what you're asking for...

 

[cro_angel]

well not a technique but another name for it is self actualisation?
or maybe like the critical point in a story? turning point?

Neo.o needs to do some clarifying here.

To continue the thesaurus thing...awakening

 

[silvermoon]

epiphany? revelation? breakthrough? recognition? self-awareness? like sarah said, unless ur more specific about what u mean i cant be much more help than in thesaurus capacity

 

[neo o]

I thought it ws rather specific actually

The best i can come up with is "character devolpment" so ill stick to that. Thanks for the help though!

 

[Sarah168]

It wasnt specific because a synonym is not a technique.

ahhhhh! are you talking about the Bildungsroman technique as employed in Emma and Clueless texts?

i'll put it here just in case...

Bildungsroman – denotes a novel of all-round self-development. It encompasses a few similar genres: the Entwicklungsroman, a story of a general growth rather than self-culture; the Erziehungsroman, which focuses on training and formal education; and the Kunstlerroman, about the development of an artist.

A Bildungsroman is most generally the story of a single individual’s growth and development within the context of a defined social order. The growth process, at its roots a quest story, has been described as both “an apprenticeship to life” and a “search for meaningful existence within society.”
