The structural aspect refers to how a literary work is organized and constructed. It examines elements such as plot, narrative techniques, point of view, and overall form.
Picture the structural aspect as the blueprint that holds together all the different parts of a building (or story), determining its shape and overall design.
Plot Structure: The sequence of events that make up a story's plot (e.g., exposition, rising action, climax).
Point of View (POV): The perspective from which a story is told (e.g., first-person POV, third-person limited POV).
Narrative Techniques: Literary devices used by authors to tell a story (e.g., foreshadowing, flashback, stream of consciousness).
