the narrative structure
Narrative structure refers to how a story is organized and presented to the audience. It typically follows a sequence: an introduction or setup introduces characters and setting; the conflict or climax introduces challenges or key events; and the resolution concludes with a resolution or ending. This framework helps to create engagement, build suspense, and provide a coherent flow. Different stories may use variations like flashbacks or multiple viewpoints, but most share an underlying structure that guides the story from beginning to middle and end, ensuring the narrative is meaningful and impactful.
