The events in the analysed text ''Regret'' by Kate Chopin take place at the farm of Mamzelle Aurélie, the main character,-apparently in rural Louisiana. The setting of the events in the given story is realistic and it is presented in a general way which helps the reader to get into the atmosphere of the whole story. It also provides a background for action that contributes to our understanding of the main character, her life and social status. The main character is the owner of that farm and lives in her own house alone.

  2. Oxana, I'd like to comment on your last post on setting. I'd say it is rather general. The analysis of the setting sounds as if you took the explanations from the textbook on stylistics not modifying these stereotyped definitions to the story you are reading. For example, "The setting of the events in the given story is realistic and it is presented in a general way ((explain, give examples from the story to illustrate that the setting is really general (no indication of time, place of the events???????? or still there are some implicit markers of time or place)) which helps the reader to get into the atmosphere of the whole story ((explain what atmosphere!!!)). It also provides a background for action that contributes to our understanding of the main character, her life and social status ((explain what is peculiar about the life and social status of the character!!!!!!! ))." Interpret why the author has chosen this manner of setting presentation. Be particular about your analysis, pay attention to details!!! Good luck!
