Plot Summary
|
A model of a plot diagram, a format which Station Eleven does not follow
Unlike most books you have read Station Eleven has no true climax. Although there are many tense and intriguing moments, the plot is not presented in a linear way. Chapters skip back and forth pre and post-pandemic and focus on different characters. As the novel progresses these events and characters converge to create a more complete picture of the post-pandemic world. When the connections among all the characters are revealed an event occurs that changes the reader's perspective; however, it does not effect future events. Instead this revelation makes you want to reread the book from the beginning now that you know how all the characters fit together.
