Plot is the framework of a composition. It is neither necessarily interesting nor juicy. It is the backbone of a story – of any story. A seemingly good plot will sell; if the author is lucky he or she will make millions out of it, but this commercial aspect does not have much to do with literature. Plot is nothing more than a chronological sequence of events, and it should subordinate the language and style an author uses. It is an easy understanding of a tale. Plot is for lazy people while language is for committed people. To base the meaning of a novel only on its plot is irresponsible. It leads to only one conclusion: the audience is not or does not want to be engaged in the read. Everyone can think of a plot, but very few can write a short story/novel/ novella.
Plot is an impart component of a story, but language is the tool that reveals, word after word, the “secret” of a work.
