Narrative: Plot, Story and Discourse I
Texts:
· Shirley Jackson “The Lottery”
· Clarice Lispector “The Smallest Woman in the World”Assignment:
1. Research and assemble definitions of the following terms:
Story, Plot, Discourse, Fabula, Sjuzhet.
2. Read the short stories and consider how the terms might be used to analyse them (particularly, write down a fabula and sjuzhet for each of the two stories).
3. We will discuss how plot structure is applied in the stories. Are they linear narratives? Do they contain the four basic components of a plot: exposition, complication (conflict), climax and resolution (denouement)?
