S1.E8: Dramatic Irony in Prologues

S1.E8: Dramatic Irony in Prologues23 Apr17 min

<p>This is the fourth episode in Ina’s series on Dramatic Irony. Prologues are beloved and hated, but instead of going too much into whether you should or shouldn’t use it, we’ll talk about what a prologue can do to both reveal <em>and</em> hold back information, looking at <em>Mistborn: The Final Empire</em> and <em>Game of Thrones</em>, and how this information changes the reader’s perception of the story—so you can make an informed choice. </p><p><strong>Find us here:</strong></p><p>Tina:<a href="http://www.storyexcavator.com"> <u>www.storyexcavator.com</u></a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@StoryExcavator"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@StoryExcavator</u></a> </p><p><br></p><p>Ina: <a href="http://www.magicalmysterycoach.com"><u>www.magicalmysterycoach.com</u></a> </p><p>Instagram: @inanesauthor</p><p>YouTube: <a href="http://youtube.com/@magicalmysterycoach"><u>youtube.com/@magicalmysterycoach</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><em>Music: &quot;Energy&quot; by Benjamin Tissot</em></p><p><em>Licensed via </em><a href="http://bensound.com/"><u><em>bensound.com</em></u></a><em></em></p>
