The term ''framing device'' refers to the usage of a single action, scene, event, setting, or any element of significance at the beginning and end of a work. For instance, the diner scene in Tarantino 's '' Pulp Fiction '' is a framing device for the rest of the film. Or, similarly, the Beatles song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" works as a framing device for their album '' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band '', appearing as both the first and eleventh tracks. The Tempest, Shakespeare's last complete play utilises framing devices within the story as well as the beginning and the end. Think of Act 3 sc 3 and Ariel and the masque in Act 4 sc 1. They are framing devices because they stand apart from the rest of the text. |
