setting, jabroni...

Setting provides the circumstances and base of a story to build around. The setting is important in creating a real atmosphere for the reader to delve into for a complete reading experience. An example of setting is in Pride and Prejudice when Austen is first introducing the Bennet family. Not only does she describe the type of house and community that they live in, but she also introduces the time of the story. With knowledge of the time period, the reader can suspect what kind of customs the society possessed then. Moreover, Austen speaks of the family's economic status and how much more poor they are compared to other families. So, setting is very important in creating the whole basis for a story.
