This research paper: A 10 page analysis of the role that setting plays in Katherine Anne Porter's short story 'Old Mortality,' The writer argues that setting plays a crucial role as it provides the backdrop that defines and motivates the development of the characters. For this story, setting is not just the physical environs in which the story takes place, but also the cultural and social attitudes, customs and mores that create and define attitudes and feelings in the late nineteenth century. By portraying the action of the narrative through the eyes of two little girls, Maria and Miranda, Porter demonstrates how culture serves to sculpt the expectations and personalities of women. No additional sources cited.
