Romance Term of the Week-  morality chain In a romance novel, the term “morality chain” typically refers to a character who serves as a positive influence on another character, helping them make ethical or moral decisions. The morality chain often acts as a stabilizing or redeeming force in the story. This character might inspire the other to overcome flaws, make better choices, or grow emotionally. 

The concept of a morality chain adds depth and complexity to the characters and their relationships. It can be a central theme in the development of the romantic plot, showcasing the transformative power of love and moral support. The morality chain may guide the other character toward personal growth and moral improvement, ultimately contributing to the overall romantic narrative.
