What does "setting" refer to in a literary work?

The author's personal opinions
The main character's journey
The time and place of the story's action
The resolution of the plot

The correct answer is: The time and place of the story's action

In a literary work, "setting" specifically refers to the time and place in which the story's action occurs. This includes not only the geographical location but also the historical period, cultural background, and any relevant environment that influences the characters and plot. Understanding the setting helps readers grasp the context of the story, how characters interact with their world, and the mood or atmosphere established by the author. It significantly contributes to the development of the narrative, as it can affect the characters’ behaviors, plot progression, and thematic depth.
