“Unraveling the Mystery: How Understanding Story vs. Plot Can Transform Your Writing!”
Whether it happens in front of the audience or not, there is an actual timeline of events that is unaffected by the way the story is told. Renfield is affected by Dracula well before Jonathan Harker heads out to the Count’s dark fortress—but we don’t see that happen. Regardless of which scene told Renfield’s part, his story is concretely part of the equation. It’s an inherent truth of the narrative.
Consider that a fable is a story with a purpose, with a message behind it; since “fable” comes from the Latin term fabula, just like the Russian word. So, when remembering fabula, think of the immovable timeline behind the narrative—the truth is the storyline.
