The importance of setting in the story

1) In “The Real Durwan” story is set in the stairwell. “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” is set in Watson’s house in the morning and “Pride and Prejudice” is set in the neighborhood of a town.


2) “The Real Durwan” is set in the present time. In “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” is set in 1883, early April in the morning and in “Pride and Prejudice” is set in the early 19th century England.


3)The setting of the first story tells us that the story was sad. The setting of the second story tells us that the story is going to hold us at suspense. The setting of the third story gives us a very amiable feeling and and gives us warm and loving effect.


4)The location of the setting of the To Kill A Mockingbird is in Maycomb County. In the story, Scout, also known as Jean Louise Finch, tells the story of how her brother Jem, who was older than him by 4 years, fractured his arm badly at the elbow when he was thirteen. Until today, she insists that the entire incident began with the Ewell family, the most evil and cunning family in Maycomb County, but Jem disagrees. He believes that the whole thing started way back when Dill came from Meridian, Mississippi, to spend his first summer in Maycomb with his aunt, Rachel Haverford, the Finch's neighbor. To take a broader view of things, Scout suggests that it all started when General Jackson chased the Creek Indians north and Simon Finch, their ancestor, moved up the river and built Finch's Landing. Because they couldn't decide who was right, they asked their father, Atticus, and he says that they were both right. Scout begins relating the stories of her childhood that build up to the night that Jem broke his arm.
