Obstacles are powerful plot tools that provide entertainment and serve theme. Joss Whedon says this: “You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.”
Obstacles cause major and minor turning points in your story. Obstacles combined with your antagonist are what force your hero down their journey of transformation.
