The author’s choice of setting is reflective off of the mood and tone of the book/play/movie and of the characters. Whatever setting is chosen, it impacts the themes because the characters are all in the setting. The characters can develop and gain new information etc. based on what kind of setting they are in. The setting progresses the plot because if the mood of a book is joyful and the setting is dark and ominous, then it would definitely change the whole plot line. For example, if all of the characters were very happy people and they go from a sunny day on the beach to a haunted mansion, their personalities might change with the setting. The authors choice of setting definitely affects the characters, the theme, and the plot.

Doris Lessing chooses to write the setting of the story in a foreign, unknown area to the protagonist Jerry. It is a wild, rough, and unfamiliar setting that drives the theme of growth and the unknown. The setting also aids in advancing the plot because it revolves around the wild bay and Jerry’s goal to make it through the underground tunnel found there. Furthermore, the setting takes place in a foreign land which inhabits people that Jerry does not know nor speak the language of. After the boys swim away from Jerry, he is left to make his own decisions alone. So, he decides to learn how the boys swam through the underground tunnel by practicing holding his breath until he felt he was ready. When he finally makes it through the tunnel, Jerry feels very proud of himself and he learns to become independent. This is demonstrated when Jerry returns to his mother and instead of letting her know of his victory against the rugged bay and its underground tunnel, he tells her only that he is able to hold his breath for 2-3 minutes.
