Plot is an element of fiction that if narrated well, can shape a character and intrigue a reader. Susan Minot and Jamaica Kincaid demonstrate in their respective short stories, "Lust" and "Girl" that this component is not necessarily required in order to create a character.

No only do they come to led mean astray but some come to advise or to aid those in need of it. It is clear that there is a give and take relationship between the gods and mortals.…
