Setting of a story

1.The Real Durwan was set in Calcutta, in India. The Adventure of the Speckled Band and Pride and Prejudice were set both in England, in Baker Street, London and an unknown town respectively.
2.The Real Durwan was set in the the in 1950s where people are suffering from the aftermath of the partition. The Adventure of the Speckled Bandwas set in the late 1800s, in Victorian England. Pride and Prejudice was set in the 18th century, in Elizabethan England.
3. The setting gives me clues of the plot. Examples would be 'old dilapedated house', which tells your the house had long been abandoned and that it might be a hunted house; 'torrential rain' night indicate a gloomy setting. Also when the story is set might also give you clues. For example, if the story was set in the premedival ages, the plot might be something about the royalty or the wars between countries.

  1. You seem to be a little bit "lazy" (no offence) as you did not talk about each story individually. However, you provided evidence and this is something others did not do. Your setting and time period are accurate from what I know. Thanks!
