Why is identifying plot structure valuable?

1 answer:

5 0

Plot structure is evident in almost all short stories, novels, films and other forms of narrative. The typical manner of discussing plot is to think of it like a mountain or pyramid. This idea, devised by German playwright Gustav Freytag in 1863, offers a visual representation of plot development. Most stories follow the same basic structure that explores character development and conflict resolution. Successfully identifying these elements helps readers to fully engage with the text.
