A tale, a story can be written with a single plot, with one thread
of the narrative (such as Metamorphosis by Kafka), or a multitude of stories
that occur or intersect (Don Quixote, The Arabian Nights, Canterbury Tales).
The fact that there is not a single story It means that there is only one character
or a single space. Always is required more, at least in the mind of
the only inhabitant of the story-to create frictions, conflicts and oppositions. There will be
always one or two supporting actors the central weight of history, but the characters
side are not only ornaments are They may have some events or scenes
the defining them and the world they live the protagonist. Those are the subplots.
The subplots are very important wide narration. They, especially,
what make a story credible because they show an imaginary world that has several facets,
like ours. Two crossed stories can happen simultaneously
to a single character: Enemies In the story, Chekhov, Dr. Kirilov has to visit
false to a patient when his own son just died. Or you can cross the stories
two different people: two brothers, or two friends are counted, interrupting
another, two very different adventures each have lived on their own for
the vacations. There is a high percentage of novels
They are constructed from a coelcción secondary stories. They may be stories
or adventures that befall the same character. A significant case is that of Don Quixote
which, accompanied by Sancho, he will taking adventure after adventure. The first intention of Cervantes,
writing the first pages of the adventures Alonso Quijano, seems to have been that of
write a short novel, a short story, and this would end just as Don Quixote
returns from his first exit, which made unaccompanied by Sancho. In deciding to continue
history with a second exit, which It takes to go all the Mancha in a non-
so chivalrous adventures, Cervantes he realizes that Don Quixote accurate
a partner, an alter ego, a counterpoint enabling grow and advance the story,
that allows you to write five hundred pages and a second volume of so many without
history decay. They're not just adventures Don Quixote, Sancho but also
Teresa, or the island of Barataria, and even Cervantes himself after a translator
to decipher manuscripts Hamete. In any case, it is the structure of crowd
Concentrated stories which gives rise the novel itself in most
Indo-European languages. Novels chivalry, just parodied by Cervantes,
They are but another accumulation of adventures.
Stories can be of various characters, and narrated by only one-the case of The
Arabian Nights and Scheherazade fabulating, or The Count, and Petronius, or narrated
by various characters found in the way like the pilgrims of the
Canterbury Tales, to be giving voice one another along the trip-.
Homer's Odyssey, the Decameron of Boccaccio and One Hundred Years of Solitude by García Márquez
Examples could be three crossing twenty centuries of history, where
subplots are history. I want to emphasize the desirability of maintaining
interlocking arguments, but independent, prevent and reduce them by only one
artifice of a single main character two successive stories. To preserve
the autonomy of two arguments, sometimes be useful (that's part of the author's choice)
invent a new character that narrates intercalándolos. It can be a narrator
seen or heard both stories, a neighbor, a common friend, or an investigative journalist.
When there are two arguments in a story Crusaders, each should influence
the other. There must be some connection between them (if only mental), and
outcome of one should change the resolution of the other. One of the arguments can be
the main (is told at greater length) and the other side, but can also
get to balance them, and both are major.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
Write a story with two intersecting stories. When the two are more different stories,
best. No links the two stories with the first idea that comes to mind (that
usually the easiest, most obvious and topical). Give two twists the fabric.
You can write in first or third person. For example: A character tells the story
someone who knew (or is reading a book where the story of another account).
Occasionally some clues drops for which we know the reality of his life
current. Other: You are playing Trivial in a friend's house, but through the thin
septum inadvertently hear how the older brother arguing with his girlfriend.
Mood, you can.
