The six major elements of fiction are character, plot, point of view, setting, style, and theme.

You can use endlessly different story structures and styles, but each story or novel is going to boil down to three fundamental elements: character, setting, and plot.

3 elements of every good story

• Characters: introduce the people involved. Move past a listing of facts to provide the essence.
• Conflict: the lesson is often illustrated in how the character transforms through challenge. It’s not always adversity.
• Resolution: how did the character(s) change? It may not be a happy ending.

Plot Structure Exposition: Introduces the character and setting. Rising Action: Something changes; the characters meet a challenge or crisis. Climax: The turning point and most exciting part of a story. Falling Action: Events that follow as a result of the climax.

Theme, plot, structure and characters are all important elements of a good story.

The Five Essential Elements of a Great Story

• Protagonist. The protagonist is the main character of a story.
• Antagonist. As with the protagonist, make the antagonist interesting.
• An Inciting Action. The beginning of your story, or exposition, should include an event that sets the characters in motion.
• Conflict.
• Resolution.

Why Is a Climax Important? A story begins with an inciting incident—an event that ignites the primary conflict and sets a protagonist on their journey. The rising action is the increasing intensity of the conflict, creating a build-up of tension. The climax is there to release that tension.
