The Storyteller

A story inside a story. It's probably one of the main qualities that makes a good story since it gives more to it making it complex. "The Storyteller" is a great story, it just mucks, in a certain way, society, but in a true subtle way that some could misperceive. I, ironically, like the stranger better than the aunt, even if he is a jackass, because he spices things up and the aunt is to dull for my taste. The fact that it was metafiction reminded me to another story, one of "Novelas Ejemplares" of Miguel de Cervantes, "El Coloquio de los Perros". This story is inside "El Casamineto Engañoso", and inside "El Coloquio..." is the story of the witch. This twists the story so much that makes it so intriguing leaving you wanting more.
