Plot:
Plot is a series of events and thoughts arranged to reveal their dramatic and emotional significance. Plot is not just a sequence of chronological events. Rather, plot implies that there is a meaningful relationship among the events. The short story usually has one plot so it can be read in one sitting. There are five essential parts of plot: (the examples from “The Necklace”.)
Introduction (or Exposition)- The beginning of the story where the characters and the setting is revealed.
Ex: Where and When? In the late nineteenth-century in Paris.
Who? Mme.Loisel
Rising Action- This is where the events in the story become complicated and the conflict in the story is revealed (events between the introduction and climax.)
Ex: One day she and her husband were invited to a high hierarchy ball, but she lacks of a necklace to match her fancy dress. After that, she borrows an expansive necklace from her friend, Mme.Forestier
Climax- This is the highest point of interest and the turning point of the story. The reader wonders what will happen next; will the conflict be resolved or not?
Ex: she danced with intoxication, so she lost the necklace.
Falling action- The events and complications begin to resolve themselves. The reader knows what has happened next and if the conflict was resolved or not (events between climax and denouement.)
Ex: After that, she started to earn as much money as she can, to repay the debt for the diamond necklace. Because of the necklace, her appearance has changed dramatically from charming girl to normal old women.
Denouement (or Resolution)- This is the final outcome or untangling of events in the story.
Ex: Finally, she knew the truth that the necklace she wore in the ball was paste.
