geographical setting

Geographical or physical setting is an aspect of setting that pertains to where events occur and where characters live and interact. A geographical setting is a place in space. Literary characters could see and touch their geographical settings. The locale could be either realistically or theoretically identified on a map. Geographical settings might be described as specific locations:

  • planet,
  • continent,
  • country,
  • state/providence,
  • city,
  • town,
  • street,
  • building,
  • room, or
  • terrain: mountain, forrest, pond, canyon, wilderness, swamp, garden, beach, etc.
  • proximity: atop the building, near the border, opposite the entry, bottom of the ocean, west of the mountain, beside the fire, etc.

The biblical books are set in north Africa, south-east Europe, and mostly the countries of the Near-East.
