Setting
Setting is a description of where and when the story takes place. In a short story there are fewer settings compared to a novel. The time is more limited.
Ask yourself the following questions:
How is the setting created? Consider geography, weather, time of day, social conditions, etc.
What role does setting play in the story? Is it an important part of the plot or theme? Or is it just a backdrop against which the action takes place?
Study the time period, which is also part of the setting, and ask yourself the following:
When was the story written?
Does it take place in the present, the past, or the future?
How does the time period affect the language, atmosphere or social circumstances of the short story?
