literary space

Literary space refers to the setting and environment where a story takes place, encompassing the physical location, time period, and social context. It shapes characters’ experiences, influences mood, and enhances themes. Effective use of space helps readers visualize scenes, understand character relationships, and grasp the story's atmosphere. It’s not just a backdrop but an active element that interacts with the narrative, providing depth and meaning to the text. By carefully constructing literary space, authors evoke emotions and guide readers’ interpretations of the story’s environment and underlying messages.
