fortitude theme
Someone shows a capacity for putting up with hardship and pulling through in spite of it.
Notes
This theme is applied only if the character attribute (fortitude) is more or less directly commented upon. It is typically not used in those run-of-the- mill action films where protagonists are generally determined and courageous but the fact is not really developed as a theme.
