About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: VII. The Conte May Aim At Different Kinds Of Effect 1. We have been insisting strongly upon the supreme importance of the plot. Lest that insistence result in a serious misapprehension, we must now insist also on a vital distinction. Plot is of supreme importance to the Structure And Outcome of the story, but the plot may be of minor importance in producing the Effect of the story. 2. We will examine this assertion more closely. It depends on this fact: the conte involves two chief factors toward final effectiveness?an outcome and an impression. The outcome belongs to plot only; the impression is the result of plot combined with various other elements, and these other elements may in their importance as ImpresSion-producers quite overshadow plot. Let us make this still clearer by restating once more. 3. The plot is the logical summary of that body of incident and event which creates and constitutes the dramatic crisis. The essence of the short story is people acting dramatically in a time of crisis. In order to produce a single crisis that shall be single and unified in effect, the plot must be close-wrought, single, and unified. But this crisis does not have to be itself the most important thing in the story. It may exist either for its own sake, or merely for the sake of affording effective presentation of other impression-producing elements. But however this be, we shall ultimately perceive that underlying this total effect of the story, the most important element contributing to the outcome through which the effect must at least in part always be reached, ?are persons acting, each according to his character, in a crisis broughtabout by a dramatic plot. Without persons, and without certain things done by these persons in the course of a crisis, there can be no outcom..
