		The tales, some of which are originals and others not, are contained inside a frame tale and told by a collection of pilgrims on a pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.
		Although the tales are considered to be his magnum opus, some believe the structure of the tales are indebted to the works of The Decameron which Chaucer is said to have read when he visited Italy in the 14th century.
		The 18th of April is mentioned in the tales and Walter William Skeat, a 19th century editor, determined 17 April 1387 as the probable first day of the tales.

	Frame tale: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		A frame tale or story within a story is a narrative technique whereby a main story is composed, at least in part, for the purpose of organizing a set of shorter stories.
		The frame tale 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.
		For example, her Tale of Sindbad The Seaman And Sindbad The Landsman[?] is a collection of adventures related by Sindbad the Seaman to Sindbad the Landsman.

	Margaret Greer: Framing Tales
		In Zayas' tale, as in numerous stories in novella collections, the true illness is doubly within, for the physical symptoms are the result of mal de amor (malady of love)--in the case of Zayas' Lisis, suffering caused by jealousy and disappointment in love, as her beloved don Juan neglects her for her cousin Lisarda.
		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.
		Zayas' decision to employ a frame tale, I would propose, is not aesthetically motivated in the need to delimit and organize fictional worlds, but polemically designed to enhance the power of the narrative to transcend the limits of fiction and reorganize her readers' modes of thought.

		This has the frame tale of the caliph who kills each wife the morning after wedding them until he is “diverted from this cruel custom” by the daughter of a vizier.
		The frame story is echoed in many of the tales by the “narrative device of delaying unpleasant events by means of arousing the curiosity of a powerful figure” (Zipes 24).
		This function is modelled by the frame tale and by numerous other tales in which the relationship of frame and story is mirrored in infinite regress.

		This scene is key because the viewer literally and figuratively enters the frame tale concerning Johnny and Uncle Remus (considered by many to simply be a frame tale of the animated sequences).
		This means that even the live-action frame tale has already occurred and exists within Uncle Remus' catalog of tales but the logic behind such a rhetorical effort is flawed since all of Uncle Remus' stories have to do with talking animals who serve as figures in the real world.

	Lalla Rookh
		One important source for Dickinson's oriental imagery was Thomas Moore’s 1817 book-length poem Lalla Rookh. Moore’s tale is about a princess’s trip from Delhi to Cashmere to meet her betrothed. Along the way, a poet (her husband-to-be in disguise) recounts to her historical tales of insurrection and ecstasy, of revolutionary heroes and passionate women.
		In "The Fire-worshippers," the second tale the poet tells Lalla describes an unsuccessful revolt and a tragic love affair. About this tale, Moore admitted, "I should not be surprised if this story of the Fire-worshippers were found capable of a.

	Confessio Amantis, Vol. 2: Introduction
		This "common inheritance" of framing is evident in medieval stage practices as diverse as processionals, street scenes, architecture, decorated manuscripts, and the framing of ideas in logic and theology, where history itself is framed by eschatology.
		The tale is told with pleasing variation of syntax, run-on rhythms, witty wordplay, aphorism, and rhetorical questions; it has two well-placed speeches, and an abundance of charming details and touching pathos, whereby any reader would regret with heart-felt pity the hastiness of each lover's suicide.
		Gower gives him his only speech in the tale at this point as he melodramatically accuses himself of "felonie" and concludes that he is the cause of her death (3.1431-33).

	Canterbury Tales
		The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century (two of them in prose, the rest in verse).
		Some of the tales are serious and others are humorous; however, all are very precise in describing the traits and faults of human nature.
		Another important element of the tales is their focus on the division of the three estates.

		Though there is no frame in the formal sense, the author's style lends a unifying element to the diverse stories which have been taken, decontextualized, and rewoven into a new, autonomous work which stands alone as the most significant single source of inspiration for the Decameron.

	The Comedy of Errors: Shakespeare's First Comedy
		Shakespeare uses the lesser source to provide exposition, and, interestingly, to introduce a framework that drapes most of his comedies and romances, which is the opposite of “comic relief” in his tragedies: these frame tales heighten the comedy by contrast with their dreadful external circumstances.
		Shakespeare’s source for the frame tale of The Comedy of Errors was most likely John Gower’s version of Appolonius of Tyre (which Shakespeare later re-used for Pericles), in which a king loses his wife and daughter at sea.
		Then he tells his tale of shipwreck, separation, loss of wife, twin sons and twin servants, and, now, his own fruitless search for the son who left him five years ago in search of his twin.

		Then, in Chapter XXVI of Volume IV, "The Tale of Guzman's Family" (set in the pre-1676 period) is introduced into the larger double-frame (which already includes the Spaniard tale in the first-person, framing the Indian tale that is in the third-person, and is a document).
		We can only be certain that both the Spaniard's tale and the embedded tale of the Indian (which has further embedded tales within it) are concluded at the end of Chapter XXXVII, when the character of Isidora (formerly known as Immalee the Indian but now reverted to her Spanish heritage) dies.
		One of the other reasons why tales like "The House of Usher" and "The Cask of Amontillado" display an extreme thematization of the subject is because of the artistically reflexive nature of these short narratives, partly owing to Poe's fondness for Romantic Irony via August Wilhelm Schlegel.

		The tales themselves comprise about half the novel, while the inter-story frame dialogues occur on the nine “nights” that rather unequally divide the book.
		The novel frames, in irregular intervals, eleven stories in total, some of which, by their brevity, are scarcely “stories”.
		Of these eleven tales, first-person narration dominates six of them, while the third person is the dominant voice in five, creating a near balance between first- and third-person narratives.
