Before looking at the plot in Lion and the Jewel ,lets look
at the meaning of plot.
What is plot?
Answer :Plot is the patterned arrangement of events in a story. A plot (a simple plot) must have a Beginning, Middle, and End. Thus, a simple plot (cause and effect plot) must portray causality. That is one event should logically lead to another event.
The plot can be said to contain two plots.
1.The main plot
2.The sub-plot
The main Plot (Baroka and Sidi).
