Definition Of Setting

■ Setting is the time and place (or when and where) of the story. It’s a literary element
of literature used in novels, short stories, plays, films, etc., and usually introduced
during the exposition (beginning) of the story, along with the characters. The setting
may also include the environment of the story, which can be made up of the physical
location, climate, weather, or social and cultural surroundings.
The function of setting

■ The function of setting in a prose work is of great importance. It has immense effect
on plots and characters, as it could act as an antagonist, post a conflict that
characters need to resolve, or shed light upon characters. It can also present
symbolic persons, objects, place, action, or situations. Setting can establish the
mood or atmosphere of a scene or story, and develop the plot into a more realistic
form, resulting in more convincing characters. By establishing mood, setting also
helps the audience relate themselves to the characters in a story.
