Alright, let's hear it -- what are your favorite and least favorite MacGuffins in books/movies?? 💼

Ohh a MacGuffin! I have a question about that!!

Are they always an object? Because I’ve always thought that romance novels, for example, Jane Austen are just MacGuffin stories. The girls are all desperately chasing men, have their sights set on one and just rush for it. The actual MacGuffin being ‘marriage’ but the idea is that a girl must chase after love until she cannot. Maybe I’m overthinking it.

Thank you for the lovely video. Taking the time to edit, and write then upload these wonderfully informative lessons!!!

Can a MacGuffin be symbolic to a secondary character and his or her action/reaction to it affect the main character?

My personal MuGuffin is cold brew, but you probably could have guessed that. ^_^

My favourite is anything except irrational hatred. Dark lords of 2020 should have much more compelling motivations than 'I will kill you all, because...meh...I don't know, it just seems nice to me...'
You also get my least favourite Mcguffin.
