Answer:

- When in the bible the reader knows many different stories.
Explanation:
Before talking about the best example of a frame narrative, we have to know what it is and what does it implies.
A frame narrative is, in short words, a story within a story or a story located inside another story. How is it possible? Well, in fact, it is a literary technique used to include more than one story in a text. Do you remember the book The thousand and one nights where there are many stories framed by one, which is the principal? That is a frame narrative!
- We can find two types of frame narratives
- The principal story is bigger than the frame stories included: Here the other stories will be appearing in restricted few moments as a complement of the textual main idea.
- The frame stories are bigger than the principal one: Here the principal story works as an introducer and jointer shaft of the other stories, but most of the text is filled by the frame tales.
- Examples of frame narratives in literature:
- Decameron (1353)
- Chaucer’s Canterbury tales (1390)
- One thousand and one nights (1704)
- Frankenstein (1818)
- Scenarios which can exemplify a frame narrative (you can select the best according to with your tastes):
- When you are gossiping with your friend and you add other experiences
- When a witch from a tale remember how her childhood was
- When in the bible the reader knows many different stories.
