Redemption arcs are great, you love to see one done well. We eat up Mr. Darcy overcoming his pride and Elizabeth learning the truth about her prejudices. But the one thing that rarely comes up narratively is backsliding.
In fact, if someone writes a fan fiction follow-up to Pride & Prejudice with Darcy falling back into his old ways, people get angry. "Where did his character growth go?" they cry. It feels like when Han Solo was back at square one in The Last Jedi, that can't happen, can it?
Except it can! My husband says that when I visit home, I act younger and somehow my 'character development' of the last 20-ish years means very little. And then we have the most common serious cases: addiction and leaving domestic abusers. You can in fact hit "rock bottom" more than once, you can return to a toxic person and then escape multiple times. You can leave one bad relationship and fall into another. I think part of the reason this is so hard to accept is that we are taught that once you mount the top of that redemption arc, it's over, you'll never slide back down. But humans can and do, again and again and again.
I have had trouble with this mysterious concept of "tact" since I was a child. I have grown (I think), but every so often I just say the stupidest, most tactless thing to someone. If I was a book character, someone would scream at the page and ask where my character development went. It's there, I've been working on it, but I still make mistakes. I get tired, I misjudge, I get too comfortable and tell a stupid joke around the wrong people. At this point I've just accepted that it will always be a struggle for me, I will never complete my arc, I have to just keep trying.
So... the point is have a little mercy. We aren't characters in an epic novel, hopefully we learn, hopefully we grow, but we also stumble and backslide and screw up. And we are prone to make the same mistakes over and over again. You just have to decide to keep loving people, flawed as they are.

HI. i just wanna appreciate emily rohm’s acting as jane doe for a minute and do a little character assessment. not only does she have an absolutely stunning voice, her acting and detail work is incredible, and i can tell just from one time watching the show all the way through.
there is an acting technique where you sort of assign your character body language based on what they lead with. there are head characters, heart characters, and hip characters.
heart characters are feelings-based and tend to lead with their chest when they are moving. hip characters tend to be very confident and dare i say have a certain “swagger” to them. but i wanna talk about head characters.
something i’ve noticed about jane is that she is very much a head character. she leads with her nose a lot (for example when she looks somewhere she turns her entire head to look rather than just looking with her eyes, and she leans her head slightly forward whenever she walks and her weight is shifted forward.) head characters are considered to be thinkers, leading with their brain rather than their feelings.
emily rohm’s choice to make jane a head character is so genius. jane has a disconnect from her soul, and therefore from her feelings. she does not know who she is, so she cannot feel with the same perspective that all of the other characters do. she does not speak of her hopes and dreams (which is something that heart characters tend to be known for doing), she just desperately wants to know who she is. she leads with her head, because, what else does she have to lead with? her identity has been stripped away, so her only perspective is what is in front of her, and what she can remember. she seems to constantly be assessing everything.
also it’s ironic that she’s a head character considering that she doesn’t have a head.
