The Moral Occult

Within every melodrama the characters must make a decision. The decision comes down to either good vs bad, or right vs wrong. Brooks states "the domain of operative spiritual values which is both indicated within and masked by the surface of reality" (Brooks 5). Brooks is stating that the protagonist of the melodrama is always faced with a decision that changes the tides of the story. It is up the the protagonist to go with what he thinks is right, or go with what he others say. While I was watching one of my favorite TV show called "Suits", the main character Mike Ross is always faced with the decision to either protect his client who has usually done something wrong, or fight for what he believes which is helping the weak. Although it is Mike's duty to win the case for his client he sometimes tunnel visions which causes him to do  what will make him feel better about himself.
