Revisiting scenes in the cycle of character actions and interactions allows for the reader to notice through the eyes of the major characters.
It also presents symbols and signs held within the context of the settings that indicate not only more about the specific settings and what they have to say regarding character, but also what changes the character is undergoing.
Setting as scene through the eyes of the major character reveals much about the character’s personality, motivation and drive.
When viewed in the setting over a number of scenes the backdrop of setting becomes a sounding board or canvas, if you will, reflecting the changes, both inner and outer, that the character is undergoing as a result of her or his decisions, and choice of actions.
Setting is more then than simply the place and time wherein a novel takes place.
It also encompasses the specific places within the general location, rooms, buildings, offices and such that reveal intricacies of, and about the characters moving through and within them.
