DR. JEKYLL AND MR HYDE: PLOT
The plot is the way the author organized the story. It is a series of events arranged in a particular order or time sequence. There are some distinct features in a plot:

Events that lead us to the main story. For example, Mr Richard Enfield’s encounter with Mr Hyde in the early hours of the morning when a little girl was trampled. And also all other incidents that lead to the main story.
• Climax
It is the main event. For example, when Dr Jekyll disappeared, Mr.Utterson and Poole, his manservant searched all over the place for him.
• Falling Action
The events that lead to the conclusion or end of the story. For example, the discovery of Mr. Hyde’s dead body and Dr.Jekyll full statement of what actually happened.
