The sequence of events in a story, including exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Analysis considers causality, pacing, and structure.
The time, place, and environment where events occur. Analysis explores how setting influences characters, creates atmosphere, and contributes to themes.
The central ideas, messages, or insights about life and human nature expressed in the work. Analysis identifies explicit and implicit themes and their development.
