She is treated as a valued commodity because of her role in the continuation of cultural values and patriarchy. This is symbolized by her praise for her purity and sexual inexperience.\n\nWhore - has lost authority over her life and is an unvalued and scorned commodity in society. She provides no evidence that she has a dream for herself or the right to express a personal opinion.\n\nVirgin - asleep to her potential, which is preserved but dormant.\nWhore - knows she is selling or being robbed of her soul, but feels powerless to reclaim it. \n\nMother/Goddess - uses her feminine powers to nurture and inspire others.\n\nFemme Fatale - aware of her power over the emotions and drives of others and uses it for her maximum personal benefit.\n\nCrone - embodies resistance to joining the cosmos because she has an obsession with anti-aging or a focus on the past (regret and nostalgia). She strives to drag others down with her rather than moving forward.\n\n"},{"_id":"46e39bf083390a2c54000052","treeId":"46e32cdc83390a2c5400003b","seq":395500,"position":2,"parentId":"46e32ef083390a2c5400003d","content":"## The 13 Stages\n\n1 Dependent World\n2 Price of Conformity\n3 Opportunity to Shine\n4 Dresses the Part\n5 Secret World\n6 No Longer Fits Her World\n7 Caught Shining\n8 Gives Up What Kept Her Stuck\n9 Kingdom in Chaos\n10 Wanders in the Wilderness\n11 Chooses Her Light\n12 Re-Ordering (Rescue)\n13 The Kingdom is Brighter\n\nNOTE: This is for people who don't want to use the Act Structure and instead plot out their entire stories by the plot points.\n"},{"_id":"46e3339d83390a2c5400003f","treeId":"46e32cdc83390a2c5400003b","seq":395319,"position":1.5,"parentId":null,"content":"# Act 1 - Dependent/Domestic World\n"},{"_id":"46e3345a83390a2c54000042","treeId":"46e32cdc83390a2c5400003b","seq":395275,"position":1,"parentId":"46e3339d83390a2c5400003f","content":"## Dependent World\n\nThe Virgin is introduced to the audience with her fundamental strengths and weaknesses.
