In the story of the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I think the central frame would be the corruption of money. Though the way the story was framed it focused on the misfortunes of Gatsby through the money he had and despite it all, he still couldn't achieve the dream he wished to achieve. The story was framed in a way that actually made me as a reader feel bad for Gatsby, despite how I would normally not take pity on the rich.
If the story's framing focused more on the wrongs that he did to gain his money instead of on the misinformation and problems he faced, I would probably have the exact opposite point of view towards Gatsby. He has done shady business to gain the money he has, yet I think more of how unfortunate he is rather than how bad of a person he is, due to the way the story is framed. The story could easily make someone like Gatsby be a character no one would show remorse and sorrow for if there was no framing on the problems he went through and instead the framing was all focused on his flaws and his wrong-doings with no justification towards what he has done.
