In the simplest sense, plot means the events in a story as they happen in a particular order. Plot also refers to the way the events are organized, to cause and effect, and to the way events are set in motion. Plots are not merely lists of events. Instead, the events take the shape known as a 'narrative arc' (see question 3).

Play this quiz to see how much you know about this essential element of narrative.
