The following are the major literary

terms of structuralist and formalist
criticism:
I. Plot It is the sequence of events in a

one plot so it can be read in one sitting.

There are five essential parts of plot:

4) Falling action
5) Resolution (Conclusion) Rising Action

denouement.
Next, Climax. Resolution (Conclusion)
Final outcome of events in the story.

2. Setting- Time and location a story

takes place.

Next, Falling Action.

And last, the Resolution.

The second literary term is the Setting.

Kindly read, Rico.

Conditions, Social Conditions, and Mood
or Atmosphere.

Let us talk about Place. In Geographical

location, it answer the question where is
the action of the story taking place?
Second, Time in Historical Period, time of
day, year, etc.; it answer the question

And last, under the setting the Mood or
atmosphere that answer the question, What
feeling is created at the beginning of the
story? Cheerful or eerie?
Yes, Ma’am.
Do you understand?

The third element is about character.

feels, dreams and what he/she does or does
not do and what others say about him/her
and how others react to him/her.
Character can be Round, Flat, Dynamic
and Static.

First, let us define Round.

Kindly read, Landel.

Round - Fully developed personalities that

are affected by the story's events; they can

the undesirable suitor, Gaston.

Do you understand, class?

Very good!

Next, we have Flat.

Yes, Ma’am.
Thank you.
For example, In Disney's Finding Nemo,
the sea turtle, Crush, is an example of a
flat character. Crush personifies the Flat- is one-dimensional character.
stereotypical "surfer-dude" in the film
with his constant use of the word "dude".
This turtle is a minor character in the film
and does not have complexity to his
personality like the main characters.

Next is Dynamic.
Kindly read, Maristel.

For example, In the movie Harry Potter

and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry, the
protagonist has experienced inner conflict Dynamic- is the character who does go

Last we have Static.

For example, Scar, in the movie The Lion

King, is an excellent example of a static
character. Scar is a sly and a clever brother
of the Lion King. This cunning character Static- is the character does not go through

Do you now understand the character?

And last, the Imagery. Yes, Ma’am.

Everyone, please read.
 Do you now understand the elements of
the story?
Very good!

So, let us continue.

Formalism examines a text exclusively as

a self-contained object in isolation from
the world, biographical information about
the author, or the text’s effect on the
reader. It does not concern the historical events
outside of the story, social, cultural,

-It emphasizes the value of the text as an

entity in Itself.

Thank you.

Always remember that Literary Criticism

is the comparison, analysis, interpretation,
and/or evaluation of works of literature.
And is essentially an opinion, supported
by evidence, relating to theme, style,
setting or historical or political context.

So now, we will proceed to another guided
