SETTING 
PLOT CHARACTER
SETTING 
is the time and place in which it 
happens. Authors often use 
descriptions of landscape, scenery, 
buildings, seasons or weather to 
provide a strong sense of setting.
CHARACTERS 
• main characters - those who 
are most important in the 
story 
• minor characters - usually 
static or unchanging
TYPES OF CHARACTER 
1.Protagonist 
is the character with whom the 
reader empathizes 
2.Antagonist 
is the character that goes against 
the protagonist
PLOT 
It is the sequence of events in 
a story or play. 
A plot is a series of events 
and character actions that relate 
to the central conflict
FIVE STAGES 
a) Introduction - The beginning of the story 
where the characters and the setting is revealed. 
b) 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).
c) 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? 
d) 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). 
e) Denouement - This is the final outcome 
or untangling of events in the story.
