====Frame story====
When there is a lengthy flashback comprising more than half of the text, a [[frame story]] is the portion outside the flashback. For example, [[Mary Shelley]]'s ''Frankenstein'' uses the adventures of a sea captain as a frame story for the famous tale of the scientist and his creation. Occasionally, an author will have an unfinished frame, such as in [[Henry James]]'s "The Turn of the Screw". The lack of a finishing frame in this story has the effect of leaving the reader disoriented, adding to the disturbing mood of the story.
