Plot is the artificial ordering of events

true?

I rate that as almost true, or mostly true. Plot is very closely related to sequence of events.

Plots unfolding and events unfolding are highly related.

Yes, that statement is true. Plot refers to the sequence of events in a story, play, or narrative. It involves the artificial arrangement of these events to create a coherent and meaningful structure. The plot typically follows a specific order or chronology to guide the audience or reader through the story. It includes elements such as exposition (introduction of characters and setting), rising action (development of conflicts and complications), climax (the turning point or highest point of tension), falling action (the aftermath of the climax), and resolution (the conclusion or outcome of the story). The purpose of the plot is to engage the audience, maintain their interest, and convey the intended message or theme of the work.
