Week 2 Lecture 1
Setting and Its Impact on Character
This week we see settings ranging from Iran to the Deep South of the United States, and that is merely when it comes to location.
Setting includes so many ideas beyond locale. Often when asked to describe the setting of a story, people make that mistake. Setting, as we see from Foster, includes time, season, weather, and countless other smaller ingredients. By defining the time and place for a particular story, we are already narrowing the world and its possibilities. One starts to make assumptions about race, gender, religion, wealth, vehicles, jobs, politics, war, peace, love, etc.
As you read the selections this week consider the following:
· How the setting creates a feeling or atmosphere, both for you and for the characters in the story.
· How the setting and the action of the story work together.
· How the setting contributes to understanding the important ideas and themes in the story.
Making a few minor adjustments to the story may cause the events to appear unbelievable. For instance, the end of the twentieth century, versus, the beginning of the twentieth century. What do you think about changing the race of a character? Would the story shift….how drastically?
The setting of a story often influences the action, or at least works together with what the characters in the story are doing. A foggy street in East Berlin is much better for the action in a spy thriller. A rocky landscape on Alpha Centauri, 4.4 light years from Earth, suggests the action you would expect in science fiction much better than any typical street in the United States.
Character and setting are often dismissed by readers as just another word for scenery. Add some rain. Add some wind. Tell me what time of day it is. Tell me exactly where this person is standing. Is our black woman accidentally walking past a bar filled with angry members of the Ku Klux Klan? Is our German lover a Nazi? Is our American Soldier storming into a mosque to capture a member of Al Qaeda? Look how much that fine-tuning of setting did to the tales whose plots and characters you still do not know.
Consider this: if I kept telling you more and more specific things about the setting, would you begin to limit the possibilities for character? What if I told you our black woman is walking past the Klansmen on the night President Eisenhower forced Alabama to integrate its schools? Are you getting a more limited sense of possibilities for this character? Do you have a better sense of who she is and what could take place in the story than if I merely told you she is a woman in America? Bare in mind, we still do not know her age or what she is doing here.
That is only half of the equation. We were generating our notion of character by using setting as our springboard. Authors often do this. They want to tell the story of a time and place. William Faulkner, with the exception of much of his Hollywood screenwriting, was a man who devoted his wr.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

common, generalized traits are
repeatedly found in unrelated

encountered the stereotype
before and can make some
inferences.

“Myop carried a short, knobby

She felt light and good in the
warm sun. She was ten, and
nothing existed for her but her

dark brown hand, and the tat-
de-ta-ta-ta of accompaniment.”

himself down the last few
feet of rock and began to
pick his way toward the
lagoon. Though he had

plastered to his forehead.
All around him the long scar
smashed into the jungle
was a bath of heat.”

the sidewalk. Secretly, his eyes were
shining, while his parents chatted with
the old man, he saw the ants hesitate,
quiver, and lie still on the cement. He
sensed they were cold.”

pooled on the oak veneer.
Lastly, he looked at the face
