Narratology

Narratology is the study of narratives and storytelling structures in literature, film, and other media. It focuses on how stories are constructed, including elements like plot, character, point of view, and temporal order. In aesthetics, it helps analyze how narrative techniques create meaning and emotional responses. In historiography, narratology examines how history is told and shaped through narratives, influencing our understanding of past events. By exploring these aspects, narratology provides insights into both the art of storytelling and the ways we interpret and engage with stories in various contexts.
