Narrative context

Narrative context refers to the background, setting, and circumstances surrounding a story or event. It provides the framework that helps us understand why things happen, the characters' motivations, and the significance of the plot. Think of it as the environment and history that give meaning to the story, shaping how we interpret its messages and developments. Without narrative context, a story might seem confusing or disconnected; with it, we gain a deeper understanding of the characters and the overall significance of the narrative.
