The best single sentence I have ever read on plotting is: “The plot is a conspiracy against the protagonist.”
“I Confess” is an good example, a plot the conspires against a priest to turn his virtue, his vow, into

A plot can conspire to turn a minor, seemingly innocuous flaw into a major problem. Thus,Indiana Jones is given a minor “flaw”, a phobia for snakes. As in “Jaws”, the plot conspires to make it a major problem, forcing him to overcome his phobia for the sake of the objective goal.
