The term 'cliffhanger' was derived from the 19th-century serialized novels in which a chapter would end with a protagonist in distress-hanging from a cliff. In traditional Japanese literature, the 'katabatic' structure is used, where the story begins at the climax and works backward to the beginning. The term 'Deus Ex Machina' is derived from Greek theater and refers to a plot device whereby an unexpected character, or an unexpected event, is brought in to resolve an otherwise unresolvable situation.
