Quote:Narrative exposition is the insertion of important background information within a story; for example, information about the setting, characters' backstories, prior plot events, historical context, etc.[1] In a specifically literary context, exposition appears in the form of expository writing embedded within the narrative.
Here is an example of the purpose of statements:
Quote:Indirect exposition, sometimes called incluing, is a technique of worldbuilding in which the reader is gradually exposed to background information about the world in which a story is set. The idea is to clue the readers in to the world the author is building without them being aware of it. This can be done in a number of ways: through dialogues, flashbacks, characters' thoughts,[3] background details,
This is the structure that writers use. That is why I have a problem when people ignore this process of providing information and claim the information is false or a lie.
Just like the previous post asking how is Monroe providing backstory. This is also the purpose of the Grimm books. All of these things are meant to let the view know what is going on, so they do not have to make assumptions or read between the lines.
You mean like the examples we got throughout 4 seasons that the house Nick and Juliette live in is owned by Nick, not Juliette? With flashbacks of both moving into an empty house instead Nick moving into her house. Then skipping ahead, how He is able to sell his property. If it was Juliette's or co-owned He could not sell it without her death certificate. Yet some will still claim it was her house?
Would that be one of your Indirect Narrative Exposition?
How about the references of Juliette's promiscuous past, starting with her admission of how her grandmother was trying to scare her to keep her out of the back seats of cars when she was a teenager. Her own words in the supermarket scene early on in season one about her previous boyfriend? How about when we meet her college roommate, Alicia and we find out about her multiple interests/partners she had in college? How is that for a Indirect Narrative Exposition?
Were the writers trying to paint a picture of the past of a "not-so-good-toothy-shoe", Juliette? Just asking.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
