1. Defining the Catalyst of the Movie “Thelma and Louise”The catalyst moment in the screenplay is when Louise shoots Harlan. The incident, when Harlan is attacking Thelma, created the first dramatic moment. This major event is the turning point that causes the action to escalate to the next act. With outrageous behavior, with repressed feelings about her past, Louise relapses. She defends her friend and, at the same time, reacts to the memories of the abuse she suffered, doing justice to both.2. Why is this the catalyst and how does it serve the story? This catalyst is set up to promote tension, which Louise's behavior shows, while Thelma's awakening occurs from her ordinary reality as a housewife. The moment Louise shoots Harlan, in self-defense, self-defense and revenge, it automatically changes their fate. The crime committed is the key that keeps them united in the search for freedom from their past, their identity and their actions. This dramatic event also serves the story, first and foremost to address the issue of rape, violent relationships and its consequences. Secondly, it serves to highlight the characters' acceptance of their fate. Additionally, storytelling can be seen as a catalyst for more female roles in road movies.3.

Their plan to run away from authority and men all their lives comes true. Thelma and Louise, by mutual agreement, decide that the point of no return to end their ordinary lives was to die free from their reality..
