A prologue in a book serves as an introductory section that precedes the first chapter. It's a narrative device used to provide context, backstory, or a glimpse into events that occurred before the main story begins. Unlike a Preface, which often discusses the author's intentions or the book's creation, a prologue is typically part of the fictional narrative.
Key functions of a prologue include:
A prologue is often written from a different point of view or in a different time period than the main narrative. Not all books need or benefit from a prologue. A poorly written or unnecessary prologue can detract from the reading experience, whereas a well-crafted prologue can significantly enhance the overall impact of the story. It's also possible to use a foreword which is very similar to a prologue.
