I'm working with someone to get a fantasy novel into shape and one of the things I have argued about is using what I'd call a framework. By this I mean quotes from a book that is available to the characters of my novel but not necessarily to the audience... (Though I've been encouraged to write the book that is quoted!) So to give just a bit more info here is the start of my first chapter...
The first duty of a prince is to rule firmly without becoming a tyrant.
The first precept from The Duties of a Prince.
Each chapter in my novel has a quote from The Duties of a Prince that I feel is somewhat indicative without being too forshadowing of the tone of the chapter....
Is this a reasonable way to write?
