The role of the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird is to set the mood or tone for the novel. In To Kill a Mockingbird the setting is Maycomb, Alabama in the early 1930s, during the years of the Great Depression. The whole story grows out of this particular background.

Location affects the characters and their development because of what a great writer Cather is. By this I mean that she depends certain attributes of her characters on where they live. In My Antonia, she was amazing at making the speech of foreigners convincing and in The Sculptor's Funeral, she also made sure to get across the Kansas peoples’ accents.

Setting say many things, but it also reveals many things, told and untold. It will tell you who has been in it and around it by a mere footprint, but it will also tell you if somebody is destined to be nice or mean by its location.

Sometimes a setting will contrast with what is happening creating an interesting situation, usually it complements the situation.…
A setting about the impact of the setting is, “in the city that the four men live is not an ideal place you would not want to live in.” There are a few reasons why this setting affects the lives of the four men. My first reason is the in that area the en live in call it a “lockup” in New York which does not sound very pleasant. In that city, there is a lot of crime and violence, which most people do not want. For instance, there is a man murdered and robbed for money at his own convenient store. In addition, Steve (the protagonist) is in detention center willing to take his life so he would spend a day in jail. I do not think it would not happen in any other setting but the likely hood of it being in a different setting there would be a different plot. Such as if, the setting was in a wealthy neighborhood. There is a less of a chance not of crime and violence in that setting. An example to support this says, “The best time is to cry at night, when the lights are out and someone is getting beaten up screaming for help.”…
