Writing Notes: Deus Ex Machina

DEUS EX MACHINA (from Greek theos apo mechanes)

An unrealistic or unexpected intervention to rescue the protagonists or resolve the story's conflict.

"The god out of the machine". It refers to stage machinery.

The term is a negative one as it often implies the writer's lack of skill.

EXAMPLE: A classical Greek actor, portraying one of the Greek gods in a play, might be lowered out of the sky onto the stage and then use his divine powers to solve all the mortals' problems.

A MODERN EXAMPLE: A writer might reach a climactic moment in which a band of pioneers were attacked by bandits. A cavalry brigade's unexpected arrival to drive away the marauding bandits at the conclusion, with no previous hint of the cavalry's existence, would be a deus ex machina conclusion.

Such endings mean that heroes are unable to solve their own problems in a pleasing manner, and they must be "rescued" by the writer himself through improbable means.
