●Deus ex machina -is a
Latin calque from Greek ἀπὸ μηχανῆς θεός (apò mēkhanês theós), meaning "god from
the machine". The term has evolved
to mean a plot device whereby a seemingly
unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived and
unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object.
Depending on how it is done, it can be intended to move the story forward when
the writer has "painted himself into a corner" and sees no other way
out, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or as a
comedic device.
was an ancient Greek mythological hero who was famous for his
role as the leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. He
was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcos. He
was married to the sorceress Medea. Because
he belongs to mythology, he may have existed before the Greek Dark Ages
(1100–800 BC.)
>>The Golden Fleece: is the fleece of the gold-hair winged ram,
which was held in Colchis. The fleece is a symbol of authority and kingship. It figures in
the tale of the hero Jason and his band
of Argonauts, who set out on a quest for the fleece
by order of King Pelias, in order to place
Jason rightfully on the throne of Iolcus in Thessaly. Through the help of Medea,
they acquire the Golden Fleece.
Plot
refers to the sequence of events inside a story
which affect other events through the principle of cause and effect. The
causal events of a plot can be thought of as a series of sentences linked by
"and so." Plots can vary from simple structures such as in a
traditional ballad to complex interwoven structures sometimes referred to as an
imbroglio. The term plot can serve as a verb and refer to a character planning
future actions in the story.
