Please analyze the plot and structure.

The premise of “A Hunger Artist” may be phrased as
follows: What if the world placed a premium on the technique of fasting, admired
practitioners of the art, but then lost interest? The plot involves a conflict between
the pride and integrity of the unnamed Hunger Artist, on the one hand, and the fading
demand to see him, finally resulting in nothingness, on the other. The setting of the
story is adequately detailed, with the various locations of the Hunger Artist’s cages
having both realistic and symbolic value. The placement of his cage on the way to the
menagerie indicates his loss of prominence, and finally his descent to anonymity and
invisibility. The limited point of view (with brief excursions into omniscience in the
collective responses of the artist-viewing public) carefully traces all details of the
Hunger Artist’s career, and also focuses often on the Artist’s responses. The Hunger
Artist, always thin, becomes almost invisible by the story’s end, for those seeking him
have to search for him in the straw of his cage. The grim irony of his situation is that
at the very end he too disparages his own achievement (paragraph 9).Within this pattern
of meaning, the story has an ordinary enough structure. The exposition takes place in
paragraph 1, and the complication from paragraphs 2–8. The crisis and climax are both in
paragraph 9 (the paragraphs are remarkably long), and the resolution in paragraph
10.
