According to the context in which the word is used plot may refer various questions.
The textile weave
At the request of the textile industry, the term weft designates the set of threads, which, crossed and linked with those arranged longitudinally and taut in a frame, all know how to form a cloth together.
The most common fibers with which the weft is made are cotton, linen and wool, while over the years and the fantastic evolution that occurred in the industry of this type, another type of fibers were incorporated, the artificial and synthetic calls.
In the early days, when mechanization had not yet been introduced to the loom, something that only happened after the Industrial Revolution, the work of passing the weft was certainly artisan, because it precisely used a tool called a manual shuttle. Then the flying shuttle would appear that brought automation and obviously introduced a greater speed to the manufacture of fabrics.
In any case, and beyond these advances that obviously contributed to being able to produce fabrics on a large scale and reduce costs, today, great relevance is still attributed to all those jobs of this type that continue to be done manually. Of course they can be found in a smaller quantity but they have the plus of that special and unique quality. Now, that also carries over to costs, and products made this way are more expensive.
The plot in narrative
The one that we will address next is undoubtedly the most used and recognized reference of this word, since it is used in literature, in cinema, on TV and in theater to name the plot of a work, be it literary, a movie, a TV series or a play.
Although the public tends to approach the productions mentioned many times by the actors or directors who star in or direct them, it is also worth noting that many times the decision to see them again or to recommend them is based exclusively on whether the plot seduced them, the caught or not. That is why an attractive plot that is understandable to the public to whom it is directed is very important in any story of this type that wants to succeed.
Authors or screenwriters who know how to find the right and right words to successfully convey these messages are the ones who usually succeed in this regard.
Meanwhile, the plot will be that chronological account or not, of various events presented by an author or narrator to a reader and that correspond to a literary work. The most prominent feature of the plot is that will seek to establish connections caused between the different elements that make up the narrative in questionIn other words, it not only describes a simple succession of events, but also seeks to provide that plus through the aforementioned connections it presents.
For all this it is said that the plot is the body of the story, which will almost always begin with a conflict or discrepancy, because if there is not a problem there can rarely be a plot and then, it will be this that gives all the dramatic tension to the story in question. As the story progresses, the tension will gradually increase. Generally, the plot is divided into several episodes and at the end of it we will be able to find a transforming action that will lead to the culminating point.
The plot is composed of three fundamental parts: the introduction, presentation or approach, development, complication or knot and the final outcome.
In the introduction, the action will be contextualized, the environment in which it takes place, the characters that intervene, their characteristics, and the conflict that will inevitably lead to its climax will begin to be realized.
In the development, for its part, is where that transforming action that we mentioned above will take place, here the narrative tension reaches its highest and highest point. And in the denouement the narrative tension tends to ease or dissipate, explaining the consequences of that transforming action, the final situation of the characters is described, who will almost always present an inversion with respect to the state of affairs in which they were at the beginning of it. .
exist two types of frame, resolution, which are those that end when the problem in question is solved, for example, the sick person is cured or revelation, those in which the desired knowledge or information is found.
In addition, the term plot is often used to designate a conspiracy, plot or situation in which intrigues dominate the scene.
While, On television we speak of the plot to designate the set of lines that make up the image. And in Biology the weft is that set of cells and fibers that agree to form a structure.
