== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Stranger in Aa Strange Land]]'' starts out mainly with a plot about Valentine Michael Smith's (the [[Moses in the Bulrushes|human raised as a Martian]]) land rights to Mars, but then this issue is resolved with surprising ease, and the plot transitions to be primarily about Smith creating a religion and becoming a [[Messianic Archetype]].
** Most of [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s longer stories tend to have this structure to some extent, though not quite as tenuous.
* ''[[The Winter's Tale|The Winters Tale]]'', by [[William Shakespeare]], consists of a first half that is tragedy, and a second half that is comedy. Much scholarly ink has been spilled over the exact relationship of the two parts. (Either way, '[[Everything's Worse with Bears|Exit pursued by a bear]]' is around where the shift happens.)
