Vignette in Literature. Vignette is not a term I remember ever hearing in school. I learned about them through writerâs groups and conferences. A vignette is a short, well written scene. It does not have a plot, but it does reveal something about the elements in it. It may reveal character, mood or tone. It may have a theme or idea of its own the author wants to convey. It is the description of the scene or character that is important.
