PLOT

Both hamlet and pride and prejudice have a play that consists of a rising action that leads to a climax which is followed by the falling action. However fiction and drama are very different when it comes to how the contents of a plot are put together. The plot is what happen on a narrative and authors must "arrange conflicts, complications, and resolutions to create logical cause-and-effect relationships." (59). The climax is the moment of recognition or complete recognition within the plot. In pride and prejudice the climax occurs in the middle of the plot when Ms. Bennet's daughters begins to act out. This is more of a traditional structure, where as in hamlet he climax doesn't occur till the end of the play. Which is usual for tragedies where the climax Is known to occur before or after death. Though a plot does not have to be realistic, the reader must understand what is happening and why its happening. This is why the plot is so significant for an author to put together correctly.
