The time frame of a narrative refers to the period of time over which the events of the story take place. This can vary greatly depending on the length and structure of the narrative. It could be a few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, or even centuries, depending on the scope of the story being told. Additionally, a narrative may be told in a linear fashion, starting at a specific point in time and progressing in chronological order, or it may be nonlinear, with events occurring out of sequence or with flashbacks and flash-forwards.
