Elements of a Short Story

1. Character

A character is a person, or sometimes even an animal, who takes part in the action of a short story or
other literary work.

2. Setting

The setting of a short story is the time and place in which it happens. Authors often use descriptions of
landscape, scenery, buildings, seasons or weather to provide a strong sense of setting.

3. Plot

A plot is a series of events and character actions that relate to the central conflict.

4. Conflict

The conflict is a struggle between two people or things in a short story. The main character is usually on
one side of the central conflict.

On the other side, the main character may struggle against another important character, against the
forces of nature, against society, or even against something inside himself or herself (feelings, emotions,
illness).

5. Theme

The theme is the central idea or belief in a short story.
