In the case of the narrative you are studying, try first of all to recreate its storyline; that\u00a0is to say, try to place the events it describes\u00a0in the order in which they would have occurred in chronological time. Then, make a similar timeline for its plot and establish the order in which those same events are narrated. Finally, place these two timelines next to one another, determine the extent to which they\u00a0resemble and\/or differ from one another, identify the main differences between them, and then seek to account for those differences. By the end of this process, you should be able to answer these three questions:<\/p>\n
Sometimes when we compare a narrative\u2019s plotline and storyline in this way, they will look more or less the same. This too is worthy of note and is just as meaningful \u2013 it contributes just as much to our emotional and intellectual response to the narrative \u2013 as when they differ greatly. (It could, for instance, be one of the ways in which a tale signals \u2013 and thereby plays upon \u2013 the genre to which it belongs).<\/p>\n
Even when the general plotline conforms to the narrative\u2019s storyline, however, its plot will never be exactly the same as its story. This is in part because even if the order<\/em> in which the events a narrative contains is the same as the order in which they took place, that narrative will award them a different\u00a0duration<\/em> and\u00a0frequency<\/em>. You can explore those two qualities by returning to the Plot<\/a> page.<\/p>\n The other reason plot can never be the same as story, moreover, is because even when the order in which events are told throughout the course of a narrative as a whole is the same as the order in which they occurred, this is extremely unlikely to be the case at the level of every single one of the individual sentences and passages through which it is told.
