ANALYZING SETTING IN A STORY


Questions to Ask About Setting Responses from the Story:

1. What is the setting?
 Historical period? Country or locale? Season of the year? Weather? Time of day? What are the sights? Sounds? Tastes? Smells? What other details establish a sense of place?

2. Are the characters in conflict with the setting? What do the characters want? Does the setting keep them
from getting what they want?

3. What does the setting tell us about the characters? What feelings or attitudes do the characters reveal toward the setting? Fear? Pleasure? Challenge? Dislike? Respect? Other feelings or attitudes?


4. How would you describe the atmosphere or mood created by the setting? Is it gloomy? Cheerful?
Mysterious? Threatening? Other descriptions?
