Question

what does in media res mean?

Answer 1

It usually describes a narrative that begins, not at the beginning of a story, but somewhere in the middle — usually at some crucial point in the action. The term comes from the ancient Roman poet Horace, who advised the aspiring epic poet to go straight to the heart of the story instead of beginning at the beginning.

Answer 2

is the literary technique of relating a story from the midpoint, rather than the beginning
