The most interesting gap in Dante's Peak comes in Act Two: Harry's agency is high — he keeps investigating, keeps pushing for evacuation, keeps arguing with Paul — but his control is low because no one listens. He has all the evidence and none of the authority. The gap narrows briefly when the instruments confirm and Paul authorizes the alert (beats 19-20), then blows wide open again as the eruption strips every resource. In Act Four, Harry's agency stays above 65 even as control approaches zero — he's driving through lava, crossing acid lakes, making impossible choices about who to save. The early Marianne beat is unique: agency and control are both moderate because grief, not helplessness, defines the loss.
