King Croesus of Lydia (modern-day south-western Turkey) asked the oracle whether or not he should go to war on his neighbouring kingdom. The oracle replied that if he went to war, a great kingdom would fall. Croesus interpreted this as being his enemy's… it turned out to be his own.
Explanation:
Ok the setting is clearly outside.
The first point could be that the description of the growling dog gives an effect of being surrounded by danger, especially with the repetition of the growling coming from everywhere.
It give a feeling of being trapped and Stephen king uses this to create tension.
The second point could refer to the woman and her strange actions because she is frightened of the unknown, and often being in the outside exposes you to things you can’t always escape from. King uses this to convey a fearful setting that a reader can relate to.
I hope this helps :)
