The story, The Shining, would not exist if set in anything but a huge, closed, old hotel similar to The Stanley where the movie was filmed. authorlindathornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605805996356003012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-83566613186061160372017-08-17T11:29:55.511-05:002017-08-17T11:29:55.511-05:00I'd guess that if the story depends on where i...I'd guess that if the story depends on where it is set, then setting would be considered a character.Morgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-74474122752149127882017-08-17T08:24:03.341-05:002017-08-17T08:24:03.341-05:00Before I retired from the classroom, the idea of s...Before I retired from the classroom, the idea of setting as a character is one I always taught, especially to my AP students. One of the more obvious examples we used was Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried." The Vietnam jungle was as much the American soldier's enemy as were the North Vietnamese.

The example that comes to mind is a book most people have probably forgotten, The Quiet River by P.M.

If the answer is yes, then the setting is a character. If no, then it isn't. Amy M.
