In chapter 6, “Narrative” Jonathon Culler discusses the important parts of the story which are important to make the story stand out to the audience and the readers. According to Aristotle, a story should have a beginning, middle and end, and the plot is the main focus of the story rather than individual characters. When writing a tragedy, Aristotle also said that a tragedy should have the plot changing from good to bad but not from bad to good, thus the tragedy will be more interesting to the audience. In all the books that I have read in my life, I have always noticed that the plot starts from something good and continues to progress towards tragic events. Eventually, in the end, the plot will come to a resolution.
