Narrative structure refers to how elements of a story are organized to create a narrative. Key aspects of narrative structure include tension, expectation, and closure, which lead the audience through the unfolding of the story. Different types of narrative structures include open-ended, closed, multi-strand, and enigma structures. Narrative is also informed by characters that take on roles like protagonists and antagonists to create conflict, actions that propel the plot forward, and locations that set the scene and tone for how events will unfold.
