Setting

Setting describes the place and time of the literature; thus, connoting an atmospheric feel of a scene by using different images or metaphors. The setting allows the audience/reader/viewer to understand the circumstance of the place the characters are situated in, as well as their personal qualities. For an example, in Austin's Pride and Prejudice, Darcy lives in a huge mansion in Pemberley. His estate doesn't only represent his wealth but this setting illuminates the climax of the plot of the novel. This setting is where Elizabeth starts to develop feelings for Darcy. Settings can differ throughout the literature, representing the growth of a character, like Elizabeth, as well as the tone of the character's emotional status. Like from the beginning when Darcy thinks of Elizabeth as 'intolerable' which changes into loving Elizabeth.
