Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 11   AIL 1008 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Conflict, Climax, Setting

Captions available

The idea

The glossary has no headword for conflict, climax, denouement or setting, though it defines plot and flashback. Those are standard terms: the opposition driving a story, its point of highest tension, its settling afterwards, and the time and place it occupies.

In practice

Four standard terms, all absent.

Where people slip

The glossary defines plot but not setting.
