Plot is a narrative (and, traditionally, literary) term defined as the events that make up a story,

particularly: as they relate to one another in a pattern or in a sequence; as they relate to each other
through cause and effect; how the reader views the story; or simply by coincidence. Authors are
generally interested in how well this pattern of events accomplishes some artistic or emotional effect.
An intricate, complicated plot is called an imbroglio, but even the simplest statements of plot may
include multiple inferences, as in traditional ballads.[2]
A plot is composed of causal events, which are a series of sentences linked by "and so." A plot
highlights the important points and the line of a story. Ansen Dibell writes: "Plot is built of significant
events in a given story significant because they have important consequences." [1] Consequently, it
also has the same meaning as storyline.[3][4]
