a literary technique in which an introductory narrative serves as a frame for another story or a series of shorter stories
A frame story is a narrative technique where a main story is presented within the context of another, often separate, story. The primary story serves as a framework for including one or more additional stories or episodes. This method provides a structure for storytelling, often allowing different perspectives or tales to be interwoven. For example, a book might feature a character recounting various stories to others, with the recounting serving as the frame for each individual tale.
