Settings Effect on Characterization
The setting of a literary work is essential to the mentality and thought process of the characters within said literary work. Characters often are products of the setting, (e.g. Margaret’s father in Boys and Girls has a negative attitude towards women because he was brought up to believe that). This would affect the mood, and the overall plot of the story. This can be realized though the way the characters interact with each other throughout the story, how characters would react if they were in a different setting, and the historical, cultural and financial background of a character.
