Plot Setting THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

3. Flat and Round

Flat character distinguished by its lack of a realistic personality. Though the description of a flat character may be detailed and rich in defining characteristics, it falls short of the complexity associated with a round character. A round character is a three-dimensional character complex enough to be able to surprise the reader without losing credibility. 25

D. Plot

A plot is a series of actions, often presented in chronological order, but the ingredient a plot has that a story lacks is causality. In narrative with a plot, a little happens without cause. 26 Causality is an important feature of realistic fictional plots; it simply means that one thing happens as a result of something else. 27 Typical fictional plots begin with an exposition that provides background information we need to make sense of the action, that describes the setting, and that introduces the major characters these plots develop a series of complications or intensifications of the conflict that lead to a crisis or moment of great tension. The conflict may reach a climax or turning point, a moment of greatest tension that fixes the outcome; then, the 25 Ibid. p. 95 26 Ibid. p. 1 27 Robert DiYanni 2002, op. cit. p.43 action falls off as the plot’s complication are sorted out and resolved the resolution or denouement. 28 Plot denotes the way in which events arranged in a work of literature. Like a short story, a play typically begins with exposition, which presents characters and setting and introduces the basic situation in which characters are involved. Then, during the rising action, the action builds in intensity: complications develop, conflicts emerge, suspense builds, and crises occur. The rising action culminates in a climax, at which point the plot’s tension peaks. Finally, during the falling action the intensity subsides, eventually winding down to a resolution or denouement, in which all loose end and tied up. 29

E. Setting

The time and place of literary work setting includes social, political and economic background as well as geographic and physical locations. 30 The setting is the time and place in which the film’s story takes place. Although the setting may often seem unobtrusive or be taken for granted, it is an essential ingredient in any story and makes an important contribution to the theme or total effect of a film. Because of its complex interrelationships with other story element, plot, character, theme, conflict, symbolism- setting should be analyze carefully in terms of its effect 28 Ibid. p.43 29 Ibid p. 45 30 Judith A Stanford, Responding to Literature: Stories, poems, plays and essay fourth edition , Mc Graw Hill Higher Education, 2003, p. 44. on the story being told. And because of its important visual function, it must be considered a powerful cinematic element in its own right. 31 In examining the setting as it relates to the story, it is necessary to consider the effect of four factors on the story as a whole: a. Temporal factors: the time in which the story takes place b. Geographical factors: the physical location and its characteristics including the type of terrain, climate, population density its visual and psychological impact and any other physical factor of the locale that may have an effect on the story’s characters and their actions. c. Social structures and economic factors d. Customs, moral attitudes and codes of behavior 32 Each factor has an important effect on the problem, conflicts and character of human beings and must considered as an integral part of any story’s plot or theme. 31 Joseph M. Boggs 1991, op.cit. p.82. 32 Ibid. p. 82
