Abstract: In narratology, plot denotes the arrangement of narrative events, as distinct from the chronological sequence of events (fabula). Originating with the Russian Formalists (Propp, Shklovsky), this concept emphasizes the artistic construction of a story’s order. This article surveys plot and its varieties-chronological, non-linear, concentric, associative, circular with comparative examples from Uzbek and world literature. It then focuses on the retrospective plot, a plot structure that begins with a present or culminating moment and then “looks back” to earlier events.
