Without setting there wouldn’t be background or expression.
We also wouldn’t have the place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place. There is also Irrelevant setting which is when the characters do not comment upon the setting; there may be no evidence of a location. To me these are the main parts of a good story. The reason why is because without these characteristics the story wouldn’t be a good at all. This is because these key points take up a good part out of a
story.
