In this video following things are discussed:
What is prose fiction? Prose + Fiction
What is Prose? “any communication (spoken or written) through the use of language sentences or statements without the use of rhythm, rhyme and metre but with proper grammatical structure should be considered prose”.
Examples: everyday communication, lecture, speech or address, short story, novel, essay, newspaper, research articles, these slides, our great constitution, textbooks, etc. are in prose form
What is Fiction? Fiction is any prose writing which is completely fictitious or imaginative though it may have inspired by a true story or real life event.
Examples: novel, short story & novella
Elements/ constituent parts of prose fiction: these elements can be divided into two broad categories—one elements related to content and two elements related to form. In the first category we have story or message and the relevance of the story. In form we have plot, narration and language.
1. Theme/ Subject Matter and Context:
Long narrative about people
Talks about lives of people
Depict environment
Story takes place in some part of the world & about something—leads to context
2. Plot: plot is nothing but how does events happen in the story. The chain of the events. The arrangement of the events. Plot is of two types: simple plot in which we have beginning, middle and end. In complex plot there are many events interwoven with complexity by introducing subplot. Generally following are the parts of any plot and they work in the following chronology:
Beginning
Conflict
Rising Action
Climax
Falling Action
Resolution
Denouement/ Conclusion
3. Characterisation: Carry actions, plot moves. Represents different things.
E.M. Forster, an English novelist and critic wrote a fine book called Aspects of Novel and in that he divided characters into two types:
1. Flat Characters: these are those characters who do not show any change in their behaviour and ideology. They remain same throughout the story.
2. Round Characters: they show transformation in their behaviour and ideology. Opposite to flat characters.
In characters, we have protagonist means the central or main character hero or heroine of the story. Antagonist is the exact opposite to protagonist. It may be human being or nature or anything to whom the protagonist has conflict. E.g. in The Old Man and The Sea, Santiago is protagonist and nature or Shark can be considered as antagonist.
4. Setting/ Locale: where does the events happen in the story leads to setting. The place where events happen is setting. There is relationship between place and time. In the story events happen at particular place at particular point of time. It defines the chronology of events in the story. e.g. R.K. Narayan's Malgudi & Thomas Hardy's Wessex.
5. Point of View/ Narration: who is telling the story? There are three types of narration:
1. First person: character within the story tells the story. The pronoun I is used sometimes we also is used. Autobiographical novels are written with the point of view. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin is written with first person point of view.
2. Second person: this method is rarely used. The pronoun You is used. E.g. Tristram Sandy by Laurence Sterne.
3. Third person: this also is called omniscient narration. It most popular method of storytelling. The pronouns used are He, She, and They. E.g. The Old Man and The Sea by Earnest Hemingway.
6. Linguistic Devices: Figures of speech—irony, paradox, oxymoron, personification, simile, metaphor, symbols, archetypes, etc.
7. Special Effects:
Reworking of myths & legends popular fiction
Wonder & suspense in detective fiction
Use of horror & grotesque in Gothic fiction
Reworking of history in historical fiction
