Complex narrative structure is used by authors to add interest by complicating the story.There are several authorial methods of achieving this.
So in summary, complex narratives are used by authors to tell stories in interesting ways and may involve one or more of the following:
* flashbacks
* dream sequences
* repetition
* different characters' point of view
* multiple plot lines converging at the end
* flash forwards
* different time frames
* pre-figuring of events that have not yet taken place
* circular plotting where we are led back to the beginning
* backwards story telling, where the denoument is shown first and explained
through the plot
