Would _The Murder of Gonzago_, _Hamlet_'s play-within-a-play, be an
example of mise-en-abime? Or should it be considered something else
because it represents, in miniature, a series of events that precedes
_Hamlet_'s narrative? In other words, would the mise-en-abime principle
apply to a situation in which the miniaturized item refers to its text's
narrative "backstory" but not, strictly speaking, to the text itself?
