ABSTRACT

The hardest thing to draw. Serious contemplation of a term like plot of necessity calls elaborate attention to critics and theorists whose progressive ideational developments must be absorbed by the word, and by any one wishing to use and understand the complex ramifications it spawns. More significantly, it is a word which establishes a liaison between reader and literary text, demanding that each reader comprehend the active principle which the fiction being considered creates. In other words, it is a term which, when justly used, asks that every reader participate in the movement of the form and through this participation become himself a critic. Its stress and life are nevertheless in the work of literature – in its interior dynamics.
