Analyzing short story’s setting.
Definition of the Short Story:
The short story is a piece of art that tries to give us a specified impression of the world we live in. It is something which could be read in one sitting and brought a singular illumination to the reader, sudden and golden like sunlight cracking through heavy cloud. And there is a limited set of characters, one single action and a simple plot and it can be read at a single sitting. It was closer to poetry than to the novel.
Setting of Short Story:
Setting: The characters, time and location in which a story takes place is called the setting.
Place: Where is the action of the story taking place?(geographical location)
Time: When is the story taking place? (Historical period, time of day, year, etc)
Character: Short stories use few characters. One character is clearly central to the story with all major events having some importance to this character – he/she is the Protagonist. The opposition of the main character is called the Antagonist.
