Abstract
This paper aims at focusing on the plot structure of the novel “Kanthapura” which is written by the Indian author “Raja Roa”. In his novel, Rao tried to build it in a conventional manner that could be in accord with the place and time of its actions, as well as the simplicity and humble thoughts of its characters. In addition to the instruments they use to achieve their goals.

And how the author could maintain the unity of plot in spite of the sub-plot of the novel through linking them with the nature of text and the culture of the place of actions and people who lived in that place.
