Explanation

Setting establishes where and when story occurs. Physical setting: location, surroundings, weather. Temporal setting: time period, season, time of day. Social setting: cultural context, norms, class structure.

Setting can: create mood/atmosphere, reflect character psychology, present obstacles, symbolize themes. Victorian setting implies certain social constraints; dystopian setting creates tension.
