Change of perspective in Prolog?

Hello dear Gutefrage Community

I am writing a novel from the first-person perspective and have two main characters.

Now I want to write an exciting prologue, but I actually wanted to write it from the perspective of the second main protagonist. (Not from the perspective of the main protagonist, with whom I'm writing in the first person.)

Can I do this? Or will it just cause confusion?

Thanks in advance for answers :))

I even find very interesting and exciting. One could learn a lot about the way of thinking and trading the second main character, which makes it much more interesting and more complex. In general, I think it’s great if prologue is written from other perspectives than the rest of the novel, especially when a question or a riddle is explained in the phrase that the main character then tries to solve in the novel…

In itself, two perspectives are okay, but a me perspective is then too confusing.

If the prologue is ONLY from the perspective of the second protagonist, it is possible. But change of view in the prologue is not recommended.

Jap, the change of view would be if only in the prologue. Thanks for the answer ๐Ÿ™‚
