In a literary work, film, or other narrative, the plot is the **sequence of events** in which each event affects the next one through the principle of **cause-and-effect**. The causal events of a plot can be thought of as a series of events linked by the connector **"and so"**. Plots can vary from the simple—-such as in a traditional ballad—-to forming complex interwoven structures, with each part sometimes referred to as a **subplot** or _imbroglio_.
