The Little Mermaid

Setting:

It was mostly nature. Hans Christian Andersen gave great detail of the world around the mermaid. A lot of the setting was the world below the sea and the world above the sea: the land. The setting also spoke a lot about religion, which seemed to be a large theme in the story. The time was uknown, as well as the place, the acctual part of the world that it was placed in. There were beaches though, white sands, and it is on the coast, of course. The setting was mostly nature and its beauty.

POV:

To me the point of view was third person and spoken through the main character, the little mermaid. I felt that the point of view was limited omniscient narrator because the narrative was restriced to the little mermaid. Her thoughts were the only ones you really heard and her emotions were the only ones you really felt. Others' emotions were felt by the way they looked or acted. You were unable to know who they were or how they felt, you could just tell. But with the little mermaid, you were able to be given her thoughts and actions through what the narrator said and through her thoughts. You heard nobody else's thoughts.
