Blogpost #1 about Plot

Plot provides a realistic sense of order and planning in a play or novel because the plot is a series of events or occurences that happen and the authors must plan to arrange conflicts and resolutions to provide the reader with a sense of balance during the play or novel. For example, referring back to Hamlet, Shakespeare definitely uses a plot to plan a series of events that happen during the play and Shakespeare even uses Hamlet the character to help exploit and explain in dialogue what the whole plot is about and what it means to have a plot in a play. Hamlet explains through dialogue the plot of the story by portraying the conflicts and complications that are occuring in Hamlet's life with his father, his uncle, and his mother. Hamlet explains the plot to not only be what happens during the play but also the conflicts and resolutions and how Hamlet interacts with other characters. Another example of displaying of plot is in Pride and Prejudice, where Austen also portrays plot through her characters and how they basically explain the plot with their complications and conflicts exemplified through their actions. Plot is a necessary theme to format a play or novel
