In fiction, setting includes the time, location (geography) and circumstances in which a story takes place, and provides the main backdrop for the story. Sometimes setting is referred to as milieu, to include a context (especially society) beyond the immediate surroundings, the theme of the literature, or, in some cases, a character itself and can set the Mood (psychology).
The term is relevant to various forms of narrative expression, whether considered fiction, including short stories, novels, dramas, and screenplays, or non fiction, including biographies and, on rare occasion, some types of news reports.
Elements of setting include culture, historical period, geography, and hour.
Setting can be inferred either from the actions of characters or from direct narration.
