Characteristics
of short stories
These are some general characteristics of
short stories. They may not apply to
every short story you read, but they will to most.
1)
A short story is short enough to read in
one sitting. In fact, it is
designed to be read in one go. You
should strive to sit down and read it in one period of time. Usually a short
story will be well under 10000 words, sometimes as little as a few hundred
words. I am surprised when a short story
is longer than ten or twelve pages.
When you read a short story in one go,
you get experience ‘unity of effect’. The story will exist in your mind as one
entity. You want to avoid fragmenting the story by breaking it into pieces.
It‘s not a good or satisfying way to read. It ruins the experience.
MY ADVICE: Defend time to do your
reading.
My way for personal reading: I give a book 100 pages.
-a page-turner
2)
A short story normally has one physical
setting. That is, all of the events of
the story happen in one place.
3)
The time frame of a short story is
normally very short. Sometimes a story
may take place over the course of a few hours or even a few minutes. Rarely a short story will be segmented into
events that take place over several days.
Usually, however, a short story will take place over one fairly
abbreviated span of time.
4)
A short story deals with one plotline
and does not diverge far from the main story.
There are rarely subplots or secondary plots (threads). Everything that
happens in the story focuses on one incident.
TV – episodes
NOTE: Plot is the sequence of related events or
actions in a story. A plot can usually
be broken down into a traditional five-part plot structure. These parts are as follows:
1. exposition - an introduction to the main characters, settings, and
situations of the plot
2. rising action - the events and complications that lead to an
important and dramatic point in the plot
3. climax - the point of greatest interest and emotional involvement
in the plot
4. falling action - the events that develop from the climax and lead
to the conclusion
5. resolution or denouement - the final outcome which ties up any
loose ends left in the story
This structure can be depicted as a
lopsided pyramid, with two base lines.
Next time you watch a movie, pay attention to how the plotline is
delivered.
5)
A short story has very few characters,
sometimes just one or two. Normally a
short story has only one or two main characters.
6)
A short story often addresses a moral
issue or central theme. The issue or
theme is often ambiguous and designed to provoke thought and debate.
7)
A short story ends abruptly.
