Setting
Hi,
Could anyone please help me with this?
I am to write an essay on "how the writer employs setting to show what kind of person the protagonist represents", and don´t know exactly what the word "setting" can possibly mean. The explanation I´ve found in the dictionary is very brief and I need a more detailed one. What an English means when they say "setting"? Could that also refer to whatever is going on around (I mean, does the setting include people (a crowd, for example) ? Or is it just a description of what the place looks like / in what time period the scene takes place?
I´d deeply appreciate as much detailed an explanation as possible.
Thanks a lot in advance
