Plot is often designed with a narrative structure, storyline or story arc, that includes exposition, conflict, rising action and climax, followed by a falling action and a dénouement. The term storyline also refers to the plot or subplot of a story. The Plot is usually the story although it is a summarized version. On the other hand, Conflict is actual or perceived opposition of needs, values and interests.Conflicts could be man vs. himself, man vs. man (which can be found most) and man vs. environment or nature. Usually the conflict can be found in the plot.
