What is structure?Show answer
Narrative structure is the arrangement of a text's events. A linear structure tells events in order; a non-linear structure rearranges them, using flashbacks or withheld information. Openings establish a situation and often an enigma; resolutions close or leave open the questions raised. Analysing structure means explaining how the ordering shapes the audience's understanding and involvement, for example how withholding a key event makes the audience piece the story together.
