What are the types of narratives?

Narratives can be broadly classified into four types - fictional, non-fictional, reflexive, and performative. Fictional narratives involve invented stories that can be further sub-categorized into genres such as science-fiction, romance, mystery, and more. Non-fictional narratives, on the other hand, focus on real-life events and can be further divided into memoirs, biographies, and documentaries. Reflexive narratives are self-aware narratives that acknowledge their own construction, while performative narratives are designed for live performance and may incorporate elements of theatre or stand-up comedy. The different types of narratives serve different purposes and provide a wide range of options for storytelling.
