In Book II of The Sun Also Rises, the setting of the novel shifts from Paris to Spain--the southeastern Basque region around the city of Pamplona, where Bill and Jake go for a fishing trip in the mountains while Cohn waits for Mike and Brett to arrive in town. What is the effect of this change of place? Is there a change in Jake's tone as a narrator? Is there a perceptible shift in Jake's general mood? How are these changes evident in the text? How can we distinguish between these two settings?
Take 5 minutes now to contemplate the change of setting from Paris to Spain in your Notebook.
