Plot is an English term that refers to a script.
Plot is a term that is not part of the dictionary published by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) . Its use, however, is quite frequent in our language. It is, in fact, an English concept that can be translated as “plot” or “plot” .
When talking about the plot of a work , therefore, we will be referring to its history . The plot, which includes the introduction, middle and end, can be linked to a book, a movie, a play, etc.
It is important to highlight that the use of plot in our language is not justified, since there are words in Spanish that allow us to express the same thing . The popularity of the term is linked to the large amount of content in English that is found on the Internet and that leads readers to become accustomed to words from this language.
Plot Examples
A summarized version of a film plot, for example, might say something like this: “The story begins with an explosion that leaves a child injured and his parents dead. Then, that child appears, now an adult, traveling through several countries in search of revenge. The central character, in this way, must find those who planted the bomb that ended the lives of his parents."
Another possibility is to find the plot of a book : “The story shows the romance between a young beggar and a multimillionaire woman, whom he meets by chance. Throughout the plot, both will demolish all social prejudices to give themselves over to love, despite the pressure exerted by the woman's family for the couple to separate .
The plot presents the plot of a film or play.
turning point
It is important to establish that within a film, a television series and even a play there is also what has been called plot point . That is a term used to record that the main character suffers a turning point ; That is, you carry out an action or live an experience that causes your life to change in a decisive way.
In relation to this we have to point out that in Spain there is a theater company that is precisely called that: Plot Point . It was formed in 2001 and since then it has developed a broad cultural agenda, which has seen numerous works put on stage that have something in common: they are committed to innovation and not conventionalism. Among his most significant representations are “What if God were a woman?” and “Life is beautiful” .
"Plot" magazine
We also cannot ignore the existence on the Internet of a publication whose title is precisely the term we are analyzing. This is the digital magazine “Plot” , which is published in Buenos Aires and revolves around the world of architecture. Thus, through it you can learn about everything from new projects to the architects who are most fashionable at that moment.
At the beginning of 2010 was when this digital space began its journey, which is published bimonthly and has three defined sections: practice, theory and magazine.
