Question

What is the effect of the author's choice to use flashbacks in the story "The bet".

Answer 1

(I’ve never read the book before)

Flashbacks are generally used in stories to gain insight on a characters past. These flashbacks may reveal past mistakes, triumphs, milestones, or relationships experienced by the certain character.

Flashbacks are a useful tool in storytelling because they can explain why a character acted a certain way towards a present situation.

You can also utilize the flashbacks to determine how a character might act in the future, or the choices a character might make.

While others might not know why a character acted a certain way, the reader does because you have insight on their past.

I hope this helps.
