Elements of Fiction: Setting

Definition Setting, quite simply, is the story’s time and place. While setting includes simple attributes such as climate or wall décor, it can also include complex dimensions such as the historical moment the story occupies or its social context.

Mood Because particular places and times have their own personality or emotional essence, setting is also one of the primary ways that a fiction writer establishes mood. mood: The underlying feeling or atmosphere produced by a story

Development of Setting Novels may involve many different settings in widely varying landscapes. However, readers should become sensitive to subtle shifts in setting. Setting is often developed with narrative description, but it may also be shown with action, dialogue, or a character’s thoughts.

Importance of Setting Characters in a story all have to interact in one way or another with its setting. Setting can often help reveal character traits, and it is one of the primary ways an author establishes the story’s mood. In some stories, the setting can strongly affect the plot, functioning almost like another character.
