Lesson 1

Objective: Setting. Where a play, book, or story takes place often affects the characters' personalities and the possibilities for plot. Setting is usually a carefully considered item in an author's set-up for fiction. Setting in the fantasy genre is particularly important since often the reader must understand the differences between the fantasy world and the "real" world. The objective of this lesson is to look at setting.
