Different types of narrative elements, such as themes, motifs, and symbols, contribute to a story's overall impact.
Consider symbols to be motifs with the recurrence removed.
When we think of an object that symbolizes a concept, we speak about symbols.
Unlike motifs, symbols only need to appear once to have an effect.
Similar to motifs, symbols are physical things that are nonetheless related to themes.
A motif is a concrete object that recurs frequently throughout a text (typically physical objects, although it might also be sounds, places, activities, circumstances, or words). This recurrence of motifs gives a text structure by connecting different parts of the narrative to or around a primary image. Motifs frequently relate to a theme, therefore they can act as a reminder of the significance of that theme.
A theme is a concept or a topic that an author wants to delve deep into.
Themes are recurring ideas that pop up throughout a piece of writing rather than specific, recognizable concrete imagery.
The voice used to tell a story is known as the narrative voice, also known as 'Point of View'.
This is provided by the person(s) telling the story from their perspective.
It is a crucial tool and element in the work. If the author uses a variety of narrative voices and perspectives, readers will view and understand a story differently.
Keep track of the most important points in the story using the topics above.
You can use the notes to give a short summary of these events.
The resolution of the story involves tying up the loose ends of the climax and falling action.
In the resolution, the writer continues their thoughts on the story’s themes, and gives the reader something to think about after the last word is read.
The author examines what happens after the climax in the falling action.
The falling action must move the story toward some sort of resolution and begin tying up loose ends from the primary conflict, while also exploring bigger ideas and themes.
The author examines what happens after the climax in the falling action. Do new conflicts consequently develop? How does the story's climax make a statement about its main themes? How do the characters respond to the climax's permanent changes?
The story must be moved toward some sort of resolution by the falling action, which also has to begin tying up loose ends from the primary conflict and explore bigger ideas and themes.
The struggle reaches its height in the story's climax, and we find out what happens to the key characters.
Consider the climax as the 'turning' point in the narrative, when the main struggle is addressed decisively.
