| | Frame story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Each character tells his or her tale, and the frame tale progresses in that manner. | | | This literary device often acts as a convenient conceit for the organization of a set of smaller narratives which are either of the devising of the author, or taken from a previous stock of popular tales slightly altered by the author for the purpose of the longer narrative. | | | Many of Scheherezade's tales are also frame stories, such as Tale of Sindbad the Seaman and Sindbad the Landsman is a collection of adventures related by Sindbad the Seaman to Sindbad the Landsman. |

| | Once again, the Adam-Satan dichotomy frames the text of the Creature’s narrative: his Satanic attempt at persuasion argues that he is Adam manqué in need of a companion, and that if he were given an Eve, he would revert to a true Adamic state. | | | The Creature’s earliest experiences are selected and cast in his narrative for their resemblance to the formative, self-defining experiences of Milton’s Adam and Eve, as recounted in books 4 and 8 of Paradise Lost. | | | The narrative sequence of Frankenstein begins with the Creature’s adoption of Paradise Lost as his essential frame of reference, and so we turn to the portmanteau of books that the Creature discovers in chapter 15 of the novel. |

| | Margaret Greer: Framing Tales |
| | To understand Zayas' particular use of the frame tale, however, I will approach it through a brief consideration of the function of artistic frames in a larger sense, and of the nature and function of the frame tale as it was employed, or omitted, by Zayas' predecessors in the novella tradition. | | | This dialogue with a fictive audience is, of course, one of the primary functions of the frame tale, as Amy Williamsen demonstrates in the case of Zayas. | | | The pretext for story-telling in María de Zayas' novellas is the illness of the heroine of the frame tale, Lisis, whose friends gather to entertain her and speed her convalescence by telling stories. |

| | With this surprising eruption of the present tense into his narrative, Walton begins the final scene of the novel in which Victor having died from exhaustion (one wonders if the exhaustion comes from chasing the creature to the frozen wastes of the north or from having told his life story to Walton at breakneck speed. | | | The narrative contract between Victor and Walton turns on Walton's unrealistic desire to reach the North Pole, which he imagines as a Hyperborean paradise in which the sun never sets. | | | Perhaps this failure is a result of Victor's lukewarm support of his own stated views, witnessed by his stirring speech in favor of Walton's expedition against the sailors' threatened mutiny (203-4), or perhaps because the story's ability to fascinate Walton works against the idea that Walton should not pursue impossible dreams. |

| | ALCA CMI::FTAA IMC Developing a 'framing narrative' for the CAFTA talks |
| | According to the devious and false framing narrative, the fact that poor countries were so mired in poverty was due to their nasty tendency not to practice the proper religion of free markets and free trading. | | | So that nasty ?deflation' then becomes ?the predominant concern for the foreseeable future.' The fed statement is a fairly frank description of the true nature of the economy (even if it is carefully worded, substituting such terms as ?muted' and ?to low inflation' for the nasty word ?deflation'). | | | Two birds can be killed with one stone using this narrative. |

| | Because the ephemerides used incorporate the theories of motion of the Earth as well as that of the other solar system bodies, dynamical reference frames embody in a very fundamental way the moving equator and ecliptic, hence the equinox. | | | Therefore, the accuracy and consistency of the proper motions are critical to the overall quality, utility, and longevity of reference frames defined by stars. | | | Even if the fundamental planes are defined without any reference to the motions of the Earth, there is no way to magically paint them on the celestial sphere at any particular time. |
