The prologue

    1. provides background information

    3. discusses events leading up to what happens in the text

    4. offers a perspective on events in the text.

Why not #5: the prologue doesn't necessarily say the locations of events.

Why not #2: sometimes prologues are very vague and don't introduce the text. Sometimes they are addressed to the reader, but usually they are from a previous time before the events of the story to give context.

not concrete, existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence
