How does the structure of the story of Joseph enhance the impact of the narrative?

Most stories in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament, are in the form of narration. Stories have been used by writers and prophets as a tool to deliver or to convey a message to their readers/listeners (Bar-Efrat 7).

Traditional narrative stories are structured according to four plot elements. The first element that should be taken into consideration is the exposition in the story. A lot of the information provided in the story of Joseph was directly relevant to the outcome of the story. . Second is the complication, the catalyst that starts a major conflict in the story. This is where the writer gets the readers to be more interested in the story. For instance, there are complications in the issue of selling Joseph to the Midianites merchants: “Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen. and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt” (Genesis 37: 28) and in the imprisonment of Joseph due to falsified accusation against him by Potiphar’s wife: “And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison” (Genesis 39: 20). Third is the climax of the story. This is the part where each character plays a role to resolve the conflict. The climax in Joseph story is when he luckily finds his way into the Pharaoh’s palace (Dimont 22). And finally the resolution, which most likely are the final events that turn out to be the result of each character’s action and decisions.
