    Study Notes

    Freytag's Pyramid

    • Freytag's Pyramid is a structure for analyzing plot in narrative works, created by Gustav Freytag in the 19th century.
    • It consists of five key elements: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement.
    • Exposition introduces characters, setting, and basic conflict, setting the stage for the story.
    • Rising Action involves a series of events that create tension and develop the conflict, leading up to the climax.
    • Climax is the turning point or the most intense moment in the story, where the main conflict reaches its peak.
    • Falling Action follows the climax and explores the consequences of the climax, leading towards resolution.
    • Denouement is the conclusion where the story’s conflicts are resolved and any remaining secrets or subplots are unveiled.

    Point of View (POV) in Writing

    • Point of view in writing determines the angle and perspective from which a story is told.
    • First Person POV uses "I" or "we" and presents the story through the narrator's personal experiences and thoughts, allowing for deep insight into the character's emotions.
    • Third Person Limited POV utilizes "he," "she," or "they," focusing on the thoughts and feelings of one character while keeping other characters' perspectives hidden.
    • Third Person Omniscient POV also uses "he," "she," or "they" but allows the narrator to access the thoughts and feelings of all characters, providing a broader understanding of the narrative.
    • Understanding POV enhances the reader's connection to characters and can dramatically affect the storytelling experience.
