The setting of the story is very limited; it is confined largely to a room, a staircase, and a front

door. How does this limitation help to express the themes or big ideas of the story? In other
words, why is the setting so limited?

Answer:

Although I don't know what the story is about, normally if the author doesn't focus on the setting it means that they have other aspects they need you to see. Like, what are the characters doing/saying? What's going on in the story? It seems like the author wants you to pay attention to other things, and kind of made the setting trivial because it wasn't as important to the story as a whole.
