Plot Twists

2. Deus ex machina: 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.
3. Unreliable Narrator: a narrator, whether in literature, film, or theatre, whose credibility has been seriously
compromised.
4. Surprise Ending: a character isnt who you think they are.
5. Peripeteia: a sudden reversal of the protagonist's fortune, whether for good or ill, that emerges naturally from
the character's circumstances
* Yes, some of these types of plot twists are related and can be combined. Limit yourself to one major change in the
narrative and then follow it logically to the conclusion.
