Power
Power becomes clearer when we compare who appears to hold it with who can actually change another person's choices.
Why this group matters
Following power across different stories shows how the same concern can produce very different choices and endings.
What belongs here: Stories in which gaining, keeping, resisting, or surrendering power shapes the main relationships and outcome.
