-	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 an artistic, musical, or literary work. The device thus acts as a context within which the main body of work can develop.	+

-	An example of this is the diner scene in [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s ''[[Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]''; similarly, the [[The Beatles|Beatles]] song "[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (song)|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]" works as a framing device for their album ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'', appearing as both the first and twelfth tracks.	+

-	''[[The Tempest (play)|The Tempest]]'', [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s last complete play utilises framing devices within the story as well as the beginning and the end. Think of Act 3, Scene 3 and [[Ariel (Shakespeare)|Ariel]] and the [[masque]] in Act 4, Scene 1. They are framing devices because they stand apart from the rest of the text.	+
