Forster wrote Aspects of the Novel in 1927, a pioneering work examining aspects many English‑language novels share: story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm.
Building on Aristotle’s distinction between incident and plot, Forster sharpened the difference between “story” (a sequence in time) and “plot” (events linked by causality).
“The king died and then the queen died” is a story.
“The king died and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. Time‑sequence remains, but causality gives it shape.
