Laws+of+Plot

Plot **Laws of Plot: **
 * **Plausibility:** the story should be convincing on its own terms, but not necessarily realistic.
 * Element of **surprise** should be present.
 * **Suspense:** we should not know how the story turns out.
 * **Foreshadowing:** hints at the direction the story will take.
 *  **Logical:** events should be believable in their relationships to one another.

**Unity** is found when the story has a beginning, a middle, and an end that includes plausibility, surprise, and suspense.

**Subplots** may be present and should have a connection with the main plot.
