Counter-example: the play Antigone by Sophocles.
(spoilers)
The lead character commits suicide half way through and the second half of the play is what the other characters do.

- mrob 2y agoAnother counter-example: the movie Tokyo Story. The main characters have already entered their uncomfortable situation before the first scene. The twist happens unexpectedly and isn't even shown on screen. The uncomfortable situation remains, with the only change being in character understanding of it. I think it's best understood as the four act "kishōtenketsu"[0] structure, not the Hero's Journey type structure described in the article.
