Prequels

Prequels are works of fiction, typically in literature, film, television, or video games, that are set before the events of an existing story. They provide background information about characters, events, and settings that lead up to the original narrative. Through prequels, creators often explore the backstories of characters, expand on the world-building, or introduce new plots and conflicts that precede the main storyline. Prequels can enhance the understanding of the original work by providing context and depth, allowing audiences to see how specific circumstances and choices shaped the characters and events that occur later. While they can stand alone, prequels are usually designed to complement and enrich the overarching narrative of the primary story.
