backgroundSetting grounds writing in the reality of place and depicts the theme of your story through powerful metaphor. Without setting, characters are simply there, in a vacuum, with no reason to act and most importantly, no reason to care. Without a place there is no story. Setting helps with plot, determines and describes character and gives metaphoric links to theme. Like the force in Star Wars, setting provides a landscape that binds everything into context and meaning.
Settings can not only have character; they can be a character in their own right. A novelist, when portraying several characters, may often find themselves painting a portrait of “place”. This is setting being “character”. The setting functions as a catalyst, and molds the more traditional characters that animate a story. The central character is often really the place, which is often linked to the protagonist. In Lord of the Rings, for instance, Frodo is very much an extension of his beloved Shire. Setting, then, comes to mean so much more. Setting ultimately portrays what lies at the heart of the story (www.scribophile.com/blog/importance-of-setting-in-a-novel).FULL TEXT VERSION assessmentAssessment: You will write an in class, multi-paragraph essay on characterization [DUE DECEMBER 9-10th]
