Exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information, context, and relevant details to the audience. It typically includes details about the setting, characters, and the relationships or circumstances that led to the main events of the story. Exposition serves to lay the groundwork for understanding the plot and characters, helping readers to grasp the situation before the action unfolds. It often appears at the beginning of a story but can also be woven throughout the narrative as needed. In addition to literature, exposition can also refer to descriptive or explanatory sections in other forms of media, such as film, theater, or speeches.
