What minimum elements does Sargent (1916, Ch. IX) say a photoplay plot needs (characters, purpose, struggle, solution)?
Sargent's own final inventory (para 25) is a protagonist with an object, an antagonist who prevents it through obstacle, the protagonist's struggle, interest governed by suspense, and a question asked and answered. Plot concerns three persons or two persons and an object. The four words in the assignment (characters, purpose, struggle, solution) are not his headings: his terms are protagonist/antagonist/object, struggle, suspense and a distinct answer. Beginning/middle/end and the question-and-reply form are already in C3-B294-S100 rows.
