#3: Setting

Setting creates the novelty of a story. A sunny overlook of a newly pastured farm. The house of an escaped member of the Third Reich. An insane asylum on the outskirts of one of Boston's islands. No matter the case, the setting creates a visual representation for the audience, reader, or viewer to connect to. Setting depicts beauty through detailed sequences. Setting gives life to a stack of pages. A complicated, intricate setting offers variety to an ever-growing story. For example, Hamlet's travels to England and back to Denmark complicate the conflict, but also give the audience diversity to the play's consistent nature. Setting is key in creating an appropriate atmosphere for an intricate story.
