Abstract

The dissertation aims to present the plot as a key element of fiction; to explore, evaluate and attempt to define its role in a prose universe. The internal structure of a text could be considered a deliberate plot creation, while the external requires an equally special design and handling. After a short but comprehensive historical tracing, the dissertation analyzes all available parameters of its composition and its practical application –with the valuable help of Creative Writing– within the text.
