SETTING IN A STORY

The setting of a story tells the time, place, and duration of a story.


 * Time

When we talk the time in setting, we don't usually mean what time it is on the clock. The time of the setting is broader, like a period. The movie Star Wars is set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, for example, and the story Romeo and Juliet is set in the past here on Earth. Time settings can also be an era, such as post-World War II or the gold rush days of the Wild West.


 * Place

The actual place a story happens is a little more straightforward. Most stories happen in several places, so when we identify the place of a story, the rule of thumb is to find the best way to describe where most of the story takes place. For example, in Star Wars the story is on many different planets; it would be most accurate to say the story takes place in space. In Romeo and Juliet, the characters interact in different houses and public places.


 * Duration

Don't let the word fool you. Duration doesn't mean how long a story lasts or how many hours you spent reading it. Rather, duration means the time period from the beginning to the end of the story. For some stories this is just a few hours or days; other stories span decades or centuries.
