Epilogue/Prologue
Epilogue
An epilogue, or epilog, is a piece of writing at the end of a work of literature or drama, usually used to bring closure to the work. The writer or the person may deliver a speech, speaking directly to the reader, when bringing the piece to a close, or the narration may continue normally to a closing scene.
In literature
In novels, epilogues tend to be, when existent, the last chapter of the novel. They take a variety of forms, but most summarize the novel's contents or reveal the fates of the characters. Some epilogues may feature scenes only tangentially related to the subject of the story.
In drama
A character may deliver a speech, speaking directly to the audience, when bringing the piece to a close. A notable dramatic epilogue is Puck's speech at the end of Frankie Howard's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Prologue
Prologue or prolog, is a prefatory piece of writing, usually composed to introduce a drama. The Greek prologos included the modern meaning of prologue, but was of wider significance, embracing any kind of preface, like the Latin praefatio.
