Not only was this going to be a physical transition for their friendship, but Noel's love has also caused more distance between them because it is not reciprocated. The real drama was thrown on Felicity's shoulders when Noel decided he "loved her too much to be friends," the same time her boyfriend, Ben, was leaving her for the summer. But unlike most dramas, the conflicts such as these that Felicity encountered in this series was created by her - having the main character make her own decision to come out here. .
When it comes to the dramatic structure, writers know that the main character has to evolve dramatically throughout the story. In "Felicity," the creators began the show with a character who really had no distinct personality. And yet, they made her lovable by using her curiosity for life and people. College can be some of the greatest memories and some regrettable moments as well - but it's okay because its never a better time where you can make mistakes and create "a new version of you" (the theme song title). .
It strays away from the melodramatic structure in the sense that the main character was not simply dumped in this foreign environment, but rather distinctly chose it. Perhaps the tis why Felicity is such a lovable character - she was willing to take a huge leap of faith and go to an unknown place that was going to be life changing. She took a huge risk within the first 30 minutes of the pilot, not having any expectations and open to everyone that crossed her path. We all admire or wish we had that kind of courage to simply leave everything behind and create a new start of your life and yourself. To my knowledge, there has never been a successful drama that has begun its series in college and continued throughout all the years. .
It has been proven, especially within the shows annual Thanksgiving episode, that it emphasizes the typical American beliefs, yet does it within the context of portraying a different family-like atmosphere.
