Setting

Setting is a essential aspect towards the development of any literary work. In both, narratives and plays, setting will foreshadow what is to be expected. It creates the mood for a narrative, and changes while the circumstances alter within a story. Ultimately, setting has to paint a picture for the reader, and make them feel like they are their. In retrospect, the location of where certain actions take place adds more emphasis on the situation. For example, in Pride and Prejudice depending on the location, wether or not Austen is describing a regular house in a middle class society or a upperclass mansion in a elitist community, Austen distinguishes characters by placing them in distinct environments, or settings. She does this to help the reader evaluate the full characterization of a character. In addition, setting exemplifies what will usually occur, in other words the (falling actions). For instance, if the setting is described in a certain way, it is likely that the story will reflect similarly to how the setting is described. Setting creates the sense of feeling, emotion, or tone in a narrative. In essence, a author attempts to make it easier for the reader to relate to his or her story by emphasizing very descriptive settings, or trying to paint a picture for the reader making him feel like he is actually in the story.
