Over van vorige week: Plot

Plot 

Plot is...

1. Events that make up a story
2. The exploding part of story/ turning point of story
3. setting and characters
4. the solution to the problem

What points can be seen as the climax of this story.

1. Patrick being murdered
2. The police giving their estimation about the murder weapon and that it is still in the house.
3. The detectives eating the murder weapon.
4. Mary calling the police to report her husband's murder.

In order to understand what happens after the climax, one must first be able to pinpoint the point of maximum tension in the story. In the case of "Lamb to the Slaughter," there are in some ways two climaxes. The first of these is at the point in which Mary attacks her husband and kills him. This is the culmination of everything that has happened to this point in the story. The story then pulls back and allows the action to fall.

• The second and main climax of the story occurs when the detective notices that the oven is still on with the leg of lamb cooking. This is the point at which the detectives are closest to discovering the murder weapon and Mary has to keep from being caught. The conflict then begins to rise again as she creates an alibi and brings in the police to catch the murderer.

Over van vorige week: Foreshadowing

Foreshadowing

Foreshadowing – A literary device in which a writer provides the audience with hints and clues about what will happen next.

• Foreshadowing usually appears toward the beginning of a story.

• Foreshadowing allows readers to make better 

predictions about what will happen next.

Foreshadowing, closely related to structure.

the clues should not be confused with the theme!!

picture (Starwars): the shadow of Darth Vader behind Anakin foreshadows who Anakin will grow up to be

think about the literature you've read, can you name an example of foreshadowing...

Othello: the emphasis on Desdemona's chastity and innocence and Othello's appreciation for all that, foreshadows that the downfall of everything will be caused by adultery
