Equality

$$A \neq B$$
A is not equal to B

Subset

$$A \not\subseteq B$$
A is not a subset of or equal to B

Superset

$$A \not\supseteq B$$
A is not a superset of or equal to B

Intersection

$$A \cap B =$$
{ resolution }

Union

$$A \cup B =$$
{ climax, confrontation, exposition, fall, resolution, rise, setup }

Symmetric Difference

$$A \ominus B =$$
{ climax, confrontation, exposition, fall, rise, setup }

Difference

$$A - B =$$
{ climax, exposition, fall, rise }

Difference

$$B - A =$$
{ confrontation, setup }
