What a Frame Achieves
Captions available
The idea
A frame puts a listener between the reader and the tale, so the reader watches the telling as well as the events. Marlow's account arrives already received by someone, and how that someone takes it is part of the evidence the book offers.
In practice
The reader watches the telling.
Where people slip
Reception is part of the evidence.
