A prologue is like an appetizer before the main course. It's a piece of the puzzle that comes before the first chapter, designed to set the stage for the story. Prologues can introduce important characters, offer backstory, or present a dramatic event that sparks the main action.

If we're talking novels, the prologue can be likened to the overture of a symphony. This essential part of the story happens before Chapter One and it serves a crucial purpose. It provides an introduction or a window into the world the author is about to unveil.

The prologue sets the tone for the narrative and prepares the reader for the journey they're about to embark on. It often introduces characters, background information, or central themes that are vital to the overall plot. Sometimes, it depicts the scene of a key past event that greatly impacts the unfolding story.

For someone who spends most of their day lost in books, a prologue is like the warm-up before the big game. It's the sneak peek before the curtains fully rise on the narrative.

A prologue is your appetizer, giving a taste of the world you're about to explore, crucial character introductions or sometimes, crucial events that trigger the sequence of the main story.

how long should a prologue be

A prologue can really vary in length depending on the story and the author's style. Personally, I think around 1 to 2 pages is a sweet spot. It should be long enough to set the stage and grab attention, but short enough to keep things moving. No one likes a drag, right? The key is to tease the reader just enough to want to dive into the main story. That's the magic of it!

With this in mind, it's beginning can be seen as an introductory part of what is to come into view. A prologue is the appetizer to a book. It exposition, but more lightly garnished. Readers can get a feeling for the flavour of the writing and what it will be like at various palates where none cervantists spends too much time. It can be more dramatic: foreshadowing and laying a foundation for what is to come in the main body of work itself. It could bring out characters, set up an important plot point or give key background information was vital for what happened after that. Sometimes it's a scene from the middle or end of the story employed to whip up interest. Think of it as the opening act in a concert, revving you for what's to come!
