A flashback is a narrative device used in literature, film, or television where the current story is interrupted to transport the reader or viewer to a previous moment in time. It provides additional background information or context to enhance the understanding of a character, event, or situation. Flashbacks typically occur in the form of vivid memories or recollections experienced by a character, often triggered by a specific event or object. They allow the audience to gain insights into past events or character motivations and can be used to reveal hidden secrets, explain a character's behavior, or build suspense.
