Setting

The setting is quintessential in every play. Fiction or drama the setting completes the picture because then the reader gets a great feel to the story. The reader will seem as if he/she is in the play itself. The play will feel real to the reader. The setting also creates an ambience that provides the reader insight. The setting can also foreshadow the storyline and whether jovial or gloomy the play tends to flan out in that discourse. In Hamlet, the setting of the ghost scene is perfect because the dark and gloominess really show the true character of the ghost. The setting is putting the ghost right at home and so the ghost does not seem out of place. The setting is very important to the play and can either make or break it.
