By the 45 minute mark of the 2nd Act the affair is underway; Will has found his muse and the inspiration to write the play. ? So if finding inspiration is his objective goal, he’s achieved it. ?Mission more than accomplished.
But finding inspiration is not his objective goal. ?What Will must do is write the play. ?That’s his objective goal. The muse is his means to that end, to give him the inspiration to realize his objective goal.
But complications ensue such that his love life ?not only inspires but mirrors the love story — that’s the hook that sold the script. ?And it’s the conceit that ?makes the film so funny and engaging to watch.

Kurt Vonnegut used a similar situation in his classic novel “Slaughterhouse Five” which was adapted into a poignant film. ? ?Vonnegut used the uncontrolled, random time traveling of the protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, to frame a slightly fictionalized narrative of his own experience as a POW in World War II and witness/survivor of the hellish fire bombing of Dresden, Germany. ?
And he used it to frame his theme, that life (and death) just happens, randomly and absurdly.
What’s the theme you propose to explore with the time traveling story gimmick? ?What’s the point of having a character trapped in a predicament of uncontrollable time travel?
And wouldn’t it be a stronger objective goal be to not merely save the life of her 1815 version, but to win her freedom? ?I mean extending the logic of the premise (insofar as I can grasp), if she succeeds in stopping the murder of her 1815 self and returns to the safety of her 2016 self — couldn’t the 1815 version still be left in the lurch, enslaved?
