Question

Why does an author use a subplot in a novel?

Answer 1

Answer:

to develop secondary characters and story lines

Explanation:

A good story doesn't only focus on one aspect of it. The main character shouldn't be the only character that the reader is aware of, and the main plot shouldn't be the only focus of the story. It's boring that way. Having a subplot helps the author keep the reader entertained and sometimes even on their toes. I hope this helps you!
