In the short story "the haunted house" the author did many things to build suspense, relate the setting to the plot, and relate the setting to the characters in the story. One way he did this is by telling the reader about the large amounts of loneliness he was feeling while walking around in the dreary night by himself and explaining how the darkness gave him the chills every time he thought he heard something it would spook him, and how every moment in the story made you wonder what was going to happen next while he was near the haunted house. The setting related to the plot by having the story take place in the night time on a cold and windy day, a day that seemed darker, and much scarier than any other day or night. While it just so happens that after the tragedy occurred he was stuck by the haunted house just by himself, or so he thought. Lastly the stories setting did not relate to the stories characters that well for the main characters stand point has he was a good guy and didn’t mean any harm, but the story was more of a scary, bad guy setting that made you think something bad was going to happen, and sure enough something bad did happen. But the people who captured the man related to the story very well has they were the bad guys of the story that came out of nowhere to capture the man.
