In novels or short stories, authors can provide scene descriptions and character dialogue, and introduce the conflict with a great deal of contextual detail and background information, also called
exposition. This exposition helps to set the scene and provide necessary background information for the reader to fully understand the conflict and the characters involved. It can also help to create a sense of place and atmosphere in the story, giving the reader a vivid picture of the world in which the characters live and the challenges they face. However, it is important for authors to balance exposition with action and dialogue, so that the story does not become bogged down with too much detail. Good storytelling involves a combination of exposition, action, and dialogue, all working together to create a compelling narrative that keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end.
