Concept in Definition ABC

The epilogue It is a concept that in our language is linked to what is in the end or what happens, happens, in a final instance and by case it is used in that place, be it in a speech, a literary work, report, test or in any composition written.

That is, the epilogue acts as a conclusion of the work or of what was exposed in a conference, being therefore a resume brief and containing the most salient aspects of the exposition or the work in question.

Normally, when it comes to long exposures that have a lot of data and edges, the epilogue is a good alternative when it comes to recapitulate and bring back to the public's consideration the most important thing that was mentioned so that it is not lost or forgotten in the face of so many information.
The epilogue allows to highlight the most central of a question so that it is not forgotten.

Also, in some cases, the epilogue is used to tell what happened to the characters or the main issues in a story after the ending. If this or that character got married, if the couple finally had a baby, if the protagonist found the job that she longed for so much, if the protagonist was reunited with her father or if the villain in the story received a penalty for so much damage caused, all this may be a matter of approaching a epilogue.

Another function attributed to the epilogue is that it tries to be as clear and concrete as possible about what it exposes, for example, presenting examples or data that allow and facilitate a better understanding of the topic covered.

For all the above, it is confirmed the reason for the epilogue to appear at the end of a composition or discourse, it will never make sense for an epilogue to be proposed without the story having completed.

The opposing concept is that of Foreword, which consists of a introduction that is offered at the beginning of a work or speech, in which, for example, some issues to be addressed can be anticipated.
