Setting, Characters and Diction in Fiction

Abstract

Contemporary literary critics have focused more on particular issues from a specific limited number of works, leaving partially or completely unexplored some more general issues. “Setting, character and diction” analyses the interdependence between the three elements of fiction, with a special focus on the relationship between setting and characters, as well as setting and diction. It covers works of fiction from over the world, and brings out what those works have in common as far as setting, character and diction are concerned.
