Dramatic structure, and the earliest plot structure diagram, date back to Aristotle's Poetics.
Aristotle was the one who said a story, in his case a play, needed a beginning, middle, and end.
Gustav Freytag developed a five-act structure which has a few more familiar elements of plot. Freytag's five parts were: Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution as shown in the picture above.
The exposition is the introduction to a story, including the primary characters' names, setting, mood, and time.
Conflict
The conflict is the primary problem that drives the plot of the story, often a main goal for the protagonist to achieve or overcome.
Rising Action
The rising action of the story is all of the events that lead to the eventual climax, including character development and events that create suspense.
Climax
The climax is the most exciting point of the story, and is a turning point for the plot or goals of the main character.
Falling Action
The falling action is everything that happens as a result of the climax, including wrapping-up of plot points, questions being answered, and character development.
Resolution
The resolution is not always happy, but it does complete the story. It can leave a reader with questions, answers, frustration, or satisfaction.
