What is a "subplot"?
A subplot is a secondary storyline within a main story in a book, film, or play. It involves its own set of characters and events that complement or contrast with the main plot. Subplots often add depth to the narrative by exploring additional themes or character relationships, and they can provide further insight into the main story or enhance the overall complexity of the work.
