Non-linear storytelling

Non-linear storytelling is a narrative technique where events are presented out of chronological order, rather than following a straight, linear progression. Instead of starting at the beginning and moving to the end, a non-linear story can jump between different times, perspectives, or plotlines. This approach can create suspense, deepen character exploration, or highlight thematic connections. Examples include films like "Pulp Fiction" or books like "Beloved," where the structure challenges the audience to piece together the story. This style can enhance engagement and encourage viewers or readers to think critically about the relationships between events and characters.
