what is the setting of "The Lady, or the Tiger?"

题目

what is the setting of "The Lady, or the Tiger?"
And what is the rasing action in "the lady, or the tiger?"

答案

Setting -
An imaginary, semi-barbaric kingdom where a king dispenses a unique form of justice - allowing the accused to blindly choose his own fate. No particular time or actual place is strongly evoked by Stockton, and the setting serves merely as a backdrop for the dilemma presented in the story.
Rising Action -
可以这么说,没有rising action, because the story was written is a free flowing way itself...如果一定要说的话,倒数12~9段可以算是吧,就是作者自己开始分析之前...不过这么说好像也比较牵强...= =
