Following the Plot in Harrison Bergeron A plot is described as a pattern of events or the main story in a narrative or drama. The traditional way of a plot would be to use the freytag pyramid. This was coined by the 19th century thinker, Gustav Freytag. He said that a narrative or short story follows a pyramid and has 5 points. At the bottom of the pyramid is the exposition, followed by a rising action. …showed first 75 words of 969 total…

…showed last 75 words of 969 total…says the same statement again. The story of Harrison Bergeron follows the Freytag Pyramid. It began with the introduction of the characters, then the rising action and the introduction of the conflict. The conflict is at the top of the pyramid. Going back down the pyramid is the resolution to the conflict or falling action. Then lastly, the return of stable conditions. The story of Harrison Bergeron is an excellent example of the Freytag Pyramid.
