Study Notes
Narrative Techniques
- Analepsis is a technique in narrative structure where events that have occurred before the main story are revealed at a point later than their chronological place in the story.
- The purpose of analepsis is to provide background or context to the main story.
- Analepsis is not the same as foreshadowing, which involves hinting at future events in a story.
- Analepsis is also distinct from a sudden shift to a different setting within the same timeline.
- Exposition at the beginning of a story, which starts in the middle of action, is a different technique from analepsis.
