Detailed explanation-1: -As its name suggests, a frame story is a narrative that frames or surrounds another story or set of stories. It usually appears at the beginning and end of that larger story and provides important context and key information for how to read it.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, in The Thousand and One Nights, the frame consists of the story of Scheherazade, who avoids death by telling her king-husband a story every night and leaving it incomplete.
Detailed explanation-3: -Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales is a frame narrative, a tale in which a larger story contains, or frames, many other stories. In frame narratives, the frame story functions primarily to create a reason for someone to tell the other stories; the frame story doesn’t usually have much plot of its own.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main benefit of a frame story is to tell a story using a character that exists outside the story itself. Their perspective is independent and may provide additional context or different standpoints. This can lead you to an epiphany about the story, or to a specific emotional response.
