From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Narrative structure, a literary element, is generally described as the structural framework that underlies the order and manner in which a narrative is presented to a reader, listener, or viewer. The narrative text structures are the plot and the setting. Generally, the narrative structure of any workâbe it a film, play, or novelâcontains a plot, theme, and resolution. It can also be divided into three sections, which are together referred to as the three-act structure: setup, conflict, and resolution.
Setting is the time and place where the story occurs. Characters are the people in the story. Finally, the theme is the main message, the central idea, of the story. When an author develops a story, the structure is what holds all of these ideas together. Through the structure, the author is able to fully develop the plot, the characters and their actions, and lead us to the lesson of the story. Most short stories follow a narrative structure.
