In this paper we introduce a new computational narratology approach to modeling plot. It is based on events, or, more precisely, on the narrativity of event representation at the level of discourse, or the how of narration. For presenting the approach we first discuss the notion of event in narrative theory and its relation to narrativity and plot. We then show how events and narrativity are operationalized in accordance to these assumptions as discourse phenomena. In the last section, we optimize the parametrization of our narrativity graphs by relating them to summaries and thus relating the how to the what of narration in order to account for a comprehensive notion of plot.
