| sure, setting and character are the same thing |

| ▲ | bryanrasmussen 2 days ago | parent [-] | | the implication is that if mood is the character of the place then those sentences that set mood are advancing character. | | |
| ▲ | josephg 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Some authors rarely describe a place objectively. We see a space through the eyes of the characters - and in doing so, we learn about our characters as we learn about the space they inhabit. | | |
| ▲ | bryanrasmussen 2 days ago | parent [-] | | sure, if a character is in some narrative role; however I would argue that no author ever describes a place objectively, especially not a completely fictional place. The question really is if the unobjective description serves a coherent narrative purpose. |
