The setting of a story refers to the time and place in which the story is set. In the case of <em>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</em>, the setting is typical of a gothic novel.

However, when the story takes place in an urban setting, the author usually emphasizes the gloomy, dirty and hidden areas of a city. Moreover, these stories are usually set at night or in dark places, which increases the feeling of uncertainty in the reader.

In <em>Sonnet 130</em>, Shakespeare mocks love sonnets. While other poems exaggerate the imagery to an unbelievable extent, Shakespeare presents a view of a woman that is realistic. Among the descriptions he gives, are the fact that her skin is not as white as the snow, perfumes smell much better, and music sounds much nicer than her speech. The poem, while still romantic, shows that while the woman is not as supernatural as the women of other poems, the writer's love is as strong as any other.
