Setting

Function

  • mood
  • reflects society
  • context (where/when)
  • reflection of characterisation
  • establishes narrative (influences events and may reflect journey)
  • character placement
The Road

The Cellar = underneath plantation house
  • bodies stored (post apocalyptic food source)
  • reflects society's decay
  • horror (tension, fear) - MEMORABLE AS NOTHING ELSE IS
The Bunker = underneath 
  • Food source (pre-apocalyptic)
  • built to save from apocalypse
  • safe, secure, civilised (why don't characters stay there?
Gun without bullets in the bunker has no purpose, like the bunker as it didn't save anybody.
