SETTING

The setting of a play or novel does exactly as it implies. It sets the stage for the action that will be taking place in the story. In Hamlet the setting is mainly a castle and other spooky and gloomy places which is fitting because the action that takes place in Hamlet is dark. In Pride and Prejudice the settings we see are mainly high class estates or the Bennet household which harbors middle class living. The setting of Pride and Prejudice has much to do with status and class which is appropriate because it is from what most of the action in the novel stems. Setting is a crucial aspect of a work and it is important to consider it in the greater scheme of the action.
