• {{scene_or_act}}: The specific scene, act, or section of the script to focus on.
• {{genre}} (optional): The genre of the script (e.g., drama, comedy, thriller) to inform analysis.

Instructions

2. Identify all characters present in the specified scene or act.
3. For each character, list their name, role in the scene, and key dialogue lines.
4. Highlight any character interactions or conflicts that are important for the scene's impact.
5. Provide a summary of how each character contributes to the narrative.

Output format Present a character breakdown in a structured list or table, with columns for Character, Role, Key Dialogue, and Notes. Keep the tone neutral and informative.
