Prologue is プロローグ or 序章?


For example, in a novel, do we use プロローグ or 序章?




As a Japanese I think both are ok because プロローグ is already common in many
translated books, especially among young people. In my impression プロローグ gives
a modern, western image and 序章 gives a classical, formal and of a long-story
image. And I tend to think プロローグ is something extra to main chapters and
expect it shorter, on the other hand 序章 is a part of the main chapters.
