The Setting Thus Far

 So far the setting of the book Incarceron is split. there are two separate story lines going on. One of them is Finn's story, which takes place within Incarceron itself. Incarceron is a dark, damp, unforgiving place. there are multiple wings of Incarceron,which are like enormous hallways, each one ruled by a wing lord. Finn lives in a wing with a group of thieves and they have yet to leave the wing. Even though Incarceron is a prison, there is a lacking of cells since there is no point in having them since you cannot escape the prison. the setting influences Finn because he lives in a dog eat dog world, it hardens him and makes him a ruthless person. it hasn't completely changed him because he still has pity on people.Warden of Incarceron. her surroundings are clean and airy because she lives on the outside. there is an era law forcing people to act like they are from the 1700's and only use technology from that era. She lives in a manor house on a large estate. She is always trying to get into her father's study, which is always kept locked. the setting influences her because everything is so neat and proper so she  wants to break out of this tidy, protected bubble and experience life out of era. she wants to live in the now. Both of these settings contribute greatly to the developement of the characters, especially Finn since Incarceron is alive and pretty much raised him before releasing him to the rest of the prison.
