Setting
The setting of the story is unclear. Whilst the plot-line would suggest it takes place in a fantasy realm like Middle-earth or Narnia the characters refer to the world as Earth and concepts of the Church, Hell and the Holy Grail exist, suggesting it takes place some time in Earth's distant past. The theory of the world's creation is almost identical to the Christian Genesis as well as Ainulindalë from The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“We believe that Carlyle has, after all, more readers, and is better known to-day for this very originality of style, and that posterity will have reason to thank him for emancipating the language, in some measure, from the fetters which a merely conservative, aimless, and pedantic literary class had imposed upon it, and setting an example of greater freedom and naturalness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
