Okay, There's this antagonist in my plot who is supposed to secretly frame my protagonist (due to some undecided reasons) and also help him publicly to cover his tracks. And since I'm working with the famous 3 Act Structure as the base of the framework of my plot, I should set the goals of all the major characters of my novel by the end of Act I. Now X has dual goals and those dual goals, like i said, are: 1. To Frame the protagonist. 2. To help the protagonist. Setting the goal for the latter one is not an issue. But setting the goal for the former one is. If i set the goal of the former one in the end of the Act I, it doesn't look good. And if i set the goal earlier, his motives will appear right on the pages from the very start! This is my first novel so you may find me silly to ask such questions but please do suggest a way out of this problem! Thanks!
