Story Worlds

Story worlds are the detailed environments or settings where a story takes place. They include the physical locations, cultures, history, and rules that shape the characters' experiences. Think of it as the "universe" within a story, whether it's a fantasy kingdom, a futuristic city, or everyday town. A well-crafted story world helps readers or viewers immerse themselves by making the setting feel real and consistent, enhancing the overall narrative. It provides context, influences character behavior, and can be a vital part of the story's themes and conflicts.
