A plot twist is a literary device where the expected outcome of a story is suddenly and unexpectedly turned on its head. It often involves an unforeseen change in the direction or outcome of the narrative that alters the reader’s or audience’s understanding of the plot, characters, or themes. Plot twists can create shock, surprise, or a deeper engagement with the story by revealing hidden motives or new information that reshapes the context of earlier events.
