Structure

Like their antecedents, the road movie tends towards an episodic structure. In each episode, there is a challenge to be met, although not all of them will be met successfully. In most episodes, a piece of the plot is revealed - knowledge or allies are gained, and so on. Sometimes, as Heart of Darkness
Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Poland writer Joseph Conrad. Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series in Blackwood's Magazine....
, this progress is inverted, and each episode represents a loss rather than a gain.

Road movies traditionally end in one of four ways:
  • having met with triumph at their ultimate destination, the protagonist(s) return home, wiser for their experiences.
  • at the end of the journey, the protagonist(s) find a new home at their destination.
  • the journey continues endlessly.
  • having realised that, as a result of their journey, they can never go home, the protagonists either choose death or are killed.
