Into the Woods Review - The Frame Story

Using the example of Into the Woods, explain 1) what a frame story is and 2) how it works. Use specific examples from the stories that were incorporated into the play/film and select one story in particular (Cinderella, Jack & the Beanstalk, The Baker & His Wife, and Little Red Riding Hood) to show how it is related to the larger frame story itself (hint: who is narrating the story and what "story" is he trying to tell by using the other ones?).
