The setting of a story changes between a play and a novel. In novels like Pride and Prejudice, the setting helps to set the tone of the novel which include things like the tonal patterns of the characters and their financial circumstances and things that the audience cannot experience because they are not in the room with the characters. On the other hand, plays set the same guidelines with setting but they also outline how a room or location has to look. In Hamlet, the setting of each room is left up to the director because Shakespeare does not right in specific details about the room but still portray the room’s interior setting more thoroughly hen a novel might describe them. In Hamlet, the setting is also important to explain the overall mood of Denmark because it explains that the story takes place after the king’s death and with a new, illegitimate king upon the throne.
