Talk:Subplot

Principles use

This entry tells us what a subplot _is_, but what are the principles governing its use? Does the writer just throw in whatever subplots he happens to feel like throwing in, or are they chosen, timed, and implemented in a certain way in order to have certain effects on the story?

Merge?

This is very similar to side story. Maybe a case for merging the two? Sillyfolkboy (talk) 00:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

The two are sufficiently distinct to maintain different articles. A subplot is part of a story; a side story is a whole different story. JIMp talk·cont 17:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

There should probably be a better example...

While I have nothing against the show Mr. Robot, we should definitely have a better example than the one already in use. I say this because for such a common literary device an example should be one from a story a lot of people know about (Star Wars, as an example) so they can understand it better. I for one have never heard of the show and I am quite confused with it and its length. P8cman (talk) 02:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

As someone who’s a fan of the show, I also think it’s a bad example of a subplot and the explanation relies to heavily on context, so it’s too long.
I think an example of a subplot within an episode of a series less story heavy and more recognizable like Family Guy or The Simpsons would be a better explanation. 2605:A601:A62A:1600:D2D:B7B8:D3A:BA05 (talk) 04:57, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
