A transformation scene is a moment in literature or film when a character undergoes a significant change, often physically or emotionally. Some synonyms for transformation scene include metamorphosis, alteration, transformation, change, and conversion. The term metamorphosis denotes a complete and dramatic transformation of a character. While alteration and transformation also refer to a significant change, they are more commonly used to describe a less radical transition. The word conversion refers to a change of belief or attitude rather than a physical transformation. Regardless of the terminology used, a transformation scene is often a critical moment in character development and can be the catalyst for the story's resolution.
