Here's a brief overview of the main elements of a novel
The main elements of a novel include characters and point of view, setting, plot, and theme.
Characters are the people in the novel.
Point of view refers to how the story is narrated. This can include first person (I, me, my, we), third person limited (one perspective, he, she, them, names) and third person omniscient (same as limited, but with an all-knowing narrator).
Setting is where the story takes place. This consists of the time and place, but also includes local customs and traditions.
Theme is the message of the story, or the moral.
For any writer it is impossible to quantify any of these elements in your story or to ensure each will be present in any given story. For example, Setting might be the most important element in one and almost nonexistent in another.
PLOT most say is rarely the most important element of a good story.
SETTING There are two types of setting: Physical and Chronological - the where and the when.
CONFLICT Two types of conflict are possible: External and Internal.
POINT OF VIEW is the “narrative point of view,” how the story is told - who tells it.
In the First Person point of view, the story is told by a character using the pronoun 'I'.
In the Third Person point of view, the story is not told by a character but by an “invisible author,” using the third person pronoun (he, she, or it) to tell the story.
THEME is the main idea the writer of the poem or story wants the reader to understand and remember.
