Syuzhet and Fabula


The fabula is "the raw material of a story, and syuzhet, the way a story is organized."
Fabula refers to the chronological sequence of events in a narrative; syuzhet or sjuzhet is the re-presentation of those events (through narration, metaphor, camera angles, the re-ordering of the temporal sequence, and so on). The distinction is the  equivalent to that between story and discourse, and was used by the Russian Formalists, an influential group of structuralists.To find out more about the difference between syuzhet-fabula have a look at these examples.

The terms were firts used in this sense by Vladimir Propp and Viktor Shklovsky(film critic, screenwriter and literary theorist)
