"The Little Mermaid"

The setting at the beginning of "The Little Mermaid" is way deep down in the sea where the mer-people live.Strange red and trees grow at the bottom of the sea and fish swim through the branches like birds of the earth. I think this part of the setting is important because it talks about birds which do not live in the sea. This shows the infatuation the little mermaid had with life out of the sea.There is a very beautiful castle made out of coral where the mer-king, his mother, and his 6 daughters live. The sand was blue and everything down there had a blue tinge.The sun is described as appearing like a "crimson flower" when the sea was calm. I think this is important because the little princess loved flowers and planted crimson ones which reminded her of the sun. This part of the setting shows how much she longed to be on land. She could only feel the suns warmth if she was on land so she planted flowers that reminded her of it.In her garden she had a marble statue of a boy. I think this an important part of the setting because it shows how she wants to find a man that walks the earth. When the little princess turns 15 she goes up to the top of the sea.There she sees the ship and the handsome prince so she decides to watch him.A storm comes up and she saves the prince. She thinks he looks like the statue in her garden and so she kisses him.While there she sees tall mountains with snow on them, green forests, and lemon and orange trees. The setting of this part of the story is important because all theses things interest her. She hasn't ever seen green forests or mountains with snow and it makes her want to come back.After visiting the sea witch where no seaweed or plants grew and it was really creepy the setting moves to land. The little mermaid lives at the castle and falls more in love with the prince. The next setting of the story is on a ship where the prince is marrying another woman.I think the story takes place in maybe the late 1800s or early 1900s because there is no mention of cars and there are like kings and queens.
The point of view is third person limited omniscient. You can tell because it only really gives the point of view of like the little princess and her sisters. Also, most of the action only takes places where the little princess is and it doesn't switch back and forth from point of view to point of view.
