Setting
Explanation and Analysis:
“The Fisherman and His Soul” is set in an unnamed coastal village, likely somewhere in Europe. As an adaptation of a fairy tale, the story’s setting is left vague, though there are subtle references to the story’s European location, such as a character dressing “in the Spanish fashion” and another character traveling “East” to “the country of the Tartars” (an ethnic group in Turkey and the surrounding areas).
