| | Gunpowder Plot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The weakest part of the plot were the arrangements for the subsequent rebellion that would sweep the country and provide a Catholic monarch. | | | The aims of the conspirators are frequently compared to modern terrorists, however, their actions were not designed to merely influence government policy by evoking terror; their real aims were nothing short of a total revolution in the government of England and the installation of a Catholic monarch. | | | As the details of the plot were known through confession Garnet felt bound not to reveal them to the authorities. |

| | The UVic Writer's Guide: Plot |
| | Plot is distinguished from story, which is the summary of the plot's incidents without considering how they are interrelated. | | | For some of the plot patterns used to achieve particular overall effects of tragedy, see the entries on comedy, romance, or satire. | | | A plot may be said to have "unity of action" if all its parts contribute to the whole with nothing superfluous. |

| | Literature -- Constructing Plot |
| | The plot draws the reader into the character's lives and helps the reader understand the choices that the characters make. | | | In William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" it is only at the end of the story that we learn what Miss Emily has been up to all those years while locked away in her Southern mansion. | | | But by writing, "The king died and then the queen died of grief," the writer has provided a plot line for a story. |

| | Plot and Story |
| | In Dickens’ Bleak House for instance, there is the plot line which centers around Lady Dedlock and the discovery of her guilty past and there is the plot line which centres around Esther Summerson and her growth to maturity. | | | Many modern and postmodern writers deliberately try to eschew event-dominated stories and tight plots because they feel it is not an accurate rendering of reality and they claim to be more interested in character than in plot. | | | When each plot-line is brought to a satisfactory ending one also talks of a closed structure (for example the death or marriage of the protagonist or the final defeat of an evil force). |

| | Plot |
| | A plotted story has a skeletal structure that can be extracted and examined; the story makes sense if you just tell what happens in it. | | | Notice that even in Maugham's story, which has a complete plot skeleton, the ending is not narrated where it naturally falls but is brought out later with an air of revelation. | | | In Roald Dahl's "Man from the South," for example, the plot concerns a strange little man who offers to bet his new car against a young sailor's left little finger that the sailor's lighter won't light ten times in a row. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Oates's Plot |
| | Pickering, a Benedictine lay brother, and Grove (Honest William), a Jesuit servant, are told off to shoot him with "jointed carabines" and silver bullets, in consideration of £1,500 to be paid to Grove and 30,000 Masses to be said for Pickering's soul. | | | With the help of Kirkby, a man associated with the royal laboratory, he succeeded in bringing the plot before the careless and sceptical notice of King Charles. | | | Moreover, it is credibly reported that, at a great supper given in the city by Alderman Wilcox in honour of Oates, when Tonge was present, the latter's jealousy led to a verbal quarrel between the two informers, and Tonge plainly told Oates that "he knew nothing of the plot, but what he learned from him". |

| | Walsingham perhaps instigated, certainly orchestrated, the vague assassination plot (such as it ever was) of Savage and Ballard and foisted it onto Babington, who felt scruples about the morality of tyrannicide and asked Mary to authorize the killing, and this Mary declined to do but left the matter up to Babington himself. | | | For under the terms of the Act of Association, Mary's life was forfeit merely if she was privy to a plot on her behalf. | | | At her trial, Mary, unaware that Nau had made either of these statments, likewise expressed her confidence that nothing could be found written in her own hand that could prove her complicity in the proposed assassination. |
