DYFALU: A Welsh term for a form of fanciful conceit in which a string of sequential metaphors compares an object to a number of diverse things--often using compound words in a manner similar to the Anglo-Saxon or Old Norse kenning.
â¢ The plot of a tragedy is marked with a series of actions that happened to the protagonist causing fear and pity in the audience while a comic plot often creates laughter in the audience. â¢ A protagonist of a tragedy is called a tragic hero while the main character of a comedy is called a comic hero.
Hereâs the difference: â¢ Plot is your protagonistâs physical journey. â¢ Story is your protagonistâs emotional journey. Your novel (or short story, play, or screenplay) will contain both. The plot will be what happens to your protagonist; the story will be how your protagonist changes inside. Simple, isnât it?
