I assume that you are asking what the term "complications" means, and how to identify them, and not for the identification of complications in a specific plot. Complications are, simply, additional elements that prevent the plot from going straight from A to B. They are also called conflicts. For example, if the plot of Macbeth were uncomplicated, then Macbeth would have killed Duncan without a second thought, and reigned as king: The End.
