establishes a fragmented reality in the stories through his usage of the mise en abyme narrative technique from the way the narrators appear to constantly create and question their reality in the stories. In this essay‚ I will evaluate how Borges generates parallels of reality within his fictional worlds by the narrators of the tales who seem to create the world around them.
