Along with the plot, character, theme, and style, setting is considered one of the fundamental components of fiction.[2]
A setting (or backdrop) is the time and geographic location (place) within a narrative, either non-fiction or fiction. It is a literary element. The setting initiates the **main backdrop** and mood for a story. The setting can be referred to as story world or milieu to include a context (especially society) **beyond the immediate surroundings** of the story. Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour.
