Discussion on Literary Topics: Setting
The story takes pace on a countryside in the middle of nowhere. This adds to the theme of loneliness. It is clear that even though she is about to get married to the Bridegroom, the Bride clearly feels alone. She is not excited at all for her wedding, which is very strange for a bride to be feeling on her wedding day. She is very scared about making this decision to get married because it will last forever. It is said many times in the story how the house that they will be living in is away from everything and everyone. This adds to the anxiety felt by the bride. Everybody talks about this setting in a way that makes it seem like a very good thing. For example, the Wife is very jealous that she cannot afford to buy a similar property. The isolation that the setting represents is both metaphorical and literal in this story.
