How does a flashback typically affect the meaning of a drama? Select all that apply. It can provide background about a character
, event, or conflict. It can reveal the sequential order of events in a story. It can show the relationship between past and present events. It can release strong, powerful emotions.
Flashbacks are often ambiguous as to when they take place, however, they are a lazy writing tool when you want to pull at readers heartstrings or tell a character's backstory instead of showing it through natural dialogue.
