How do setting, time, and sequence impact the audience’s understanding of the plot?

Setting provides the information about the location of a literary work, in other words, where it takes place. Time identifies the period or era in which a story occurs. Sequence refers to how the events are ordered in a literary work. All of these details combined help the audience or reader understand where and when the story takes place as well as in what order to enable them to predict future possible events in the story.
