10. Setting and atmosphere in novels

The setting (where and when a story happens) and the atmosphere (the mood or feeling of the story) are very important in novels. Different authors create different worlds, but we can compare them to see how they reflect their time and society.

For example:

• Charles Dickens wrote a lot about life in cities, often showing hard times and poverty.

• Jane Austen wrote more about life in the countryside, focusing on people’s relationships and manners.

We can use something called keyword comparison to study their writing. This looks at which words each author uses more often compared to others.

• In Austen’s books, words like she, her, and words about feelings, kindness, love, and marriage appear more often. This shows her focus on relationships and social life.

• In Dickens’ books, words like his, Mr, and body parts (like face, hand, head) are common. He also uses words about cities and physical things, like streets, fire, money, and prison, which reflect life in a busy, tough city.

By looking at these words in their stories, we can see their styles and themes. For example, in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the word fire appears often and helps create a warm, hopeful feeling, while also symbolizing change.

In short, studying the words an author uses helps us understand what their stories are about and how they create their worlds.
