Paper Summary:

This paper examines the importance of the setting in the book, "The Oblong Box", by Edgar Allan Poe. The paper first explains that when considering the settings in any story, it is important to consider the geographical location, the time, weather conditions, social conditions, and the mood. The paper then looks at how all of these parts of the setting play an important role in the story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The paper also points out that time of the story is important because it helps to build the suspense of the story as time (in the short story) is delayed without explanation.

From the Paper:

"First, consider the place where the story takes place. The place is the packet-ship called, Independence. Poe tells how the ship would have many passengers and one of the passengers is a man called Mr. Cornelius Wyatt who is an artist and having been a fellow-student with him at the C--- University. This is an important part of the setting that will lead the story from one point to another as the narrator tries to find out why Wyatt is not friendly and even to the death of Wyatt in the last section of the story. Included in the setting is the fact that Mr. Wyatt having three state rooms with these rooms being roomy."
