The term "dual narrative" refers to two separate but interconnected stories that are told simultaneously. It is often used in literature, film and television to describe a storyline where two different perspectives or experiences are presented side by side, allowing for a more complex and nuanced understanding of the events being depicted. The dual narratives may be related in alternating chapters or scenes, or they may run parallel throughout the work, with each narrative providing insight into the other. This technique can add depth to a story by revealing different perspectives on the same event, and allowing for a more complete understanding of the characters and their motivations.
