Question

How does the setting influence the plot of the text? What effect would an alternate setting have

Answer 1

Answer:

The setting of "The hound of the Baskervilles" is a swamp. This contributes to bring a sense of mystery and suspense in the story, since a swamp is a remote environment and difficult to visualize, facilitating a crime to occur without raising suspicions and without the presence of witnesses. A different scenario would have removed this suspense and unpredictability in history.

Explanation:

"The hound of the Baskervilles" is one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels that has Sherlock Holmes as a spectacular detective. In this novel, Holmes has to solve the mystery surrounding the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, an English millionaire who was found dead in a swamp. Everyone believes that Baskerville was killed by a violent dog that has plagued the region for a long time, but Holmes ends up finding clues that the millionaire's death story does not hold the dog to blame.
