This four-page undergraduate paper considers specific aspects of the frame story in "Mules and Men" by Zora Neale Hurston. In the process, the role Hurston gives herself in that story, the roles of other specific characters, the settings in which the stories are told, and the incidents that occur in the frame story are analyzed. The paper concludes with an observation that the frame that Hurston has chosen adds much emotional power to her account of African American folklore in the rural South. 4 pgs.
