Before getting into the elements of a narrative story arc, best to define what it is first.  The Narrative Story arc, or as some would call it, the story arc”, is the makeup of an entire story. It outlines the sequence of the events in a story which starts with the opening or introduction, the body and the closing moments of a story. The story arc is quite important when writing a narrative as it aids in effective story-telling, helping readers connect one plot to another, keeping them excited and engaged enough to find out what happens in the story next.

The Elements of the Narrative Story

 1.     Exposition. Pertains to the part where the background of the story is established. This is where the readers can get the idea of what the story is about, when and where the story takes place,  who the characters are and the roles that they play throughout the story, and where the tonality or mood is set-up.

<span>2.     </span>Rising Action. As the word “rising” connotes, this is the part where an interesting plot starts to build-up. In the story of The Ten Commandments, for instance, this is where Moses tells the pharaoh Rameses that God will bring forth ten plagues upon Egypt if the Israelites would not be freed.

 3.     Climax. Simply put, this is where the high point of the story happens. Going back to the Ten Commandments as an example, this is the moment where the ten plagues happen and Rameses ends up allowing the people of Israel go as he suffers the loss of his first born son, the tenth plague in the story.

 4.     Falling Action. After the climax of the story has been established, there needs to be a transitional phase that leads to the ending of the story. In this part of the arc, all sub-plots in the story are answered.  The reader will be able to connect all the sub-plots in the story or “put the pieces of the puzzle together” to see the entire picture.

 5.     Resolution.  Where the story comes to an end.

Answer:

Spoken by Macbeth in Act V scene v, after Seyton brought the news of Lady Macbeth's death, implying at the meaninglessness of one's life.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "the queen, my lord, is dead." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "she should have died hereafter", and that "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale

/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

/ Signifying nothing." This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all,  life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.
