What is a "prologue"?
A prologue is an introductory section at the beginning of a book, play, film, or other narrative work. It provides background information, context, or a preview of events that will unfold. The prologue helps to establish the setting, introduce key themes, or present important characters and their situations before the main narrative begins.
