Abstract
This research aims to study the settings and the setting presentation techniques in the novel Chinese Rose by Prapassorn Sevikul, employing the critical framework of setting and atmosphere. The research results reveal that the settings in the novel can be divided into two categories: 1) cultural and social settings, and 2) natural settings. The cultural and social settings can be classified into three locations: a shrine, an orphanage, and a casino. Meanwhile, the natural settings can be classified into two types: authentic natural settings and man-made natural settings. The setting presentation techniques are divided into two types: presentation through the author's narrative descriptions and presentation through the characters' dialogues. The characteristics and presentation techniques of the settings possess realism throughout the story, helping readers visualize the scenes and excellently reflecting the author's literary craftsmanship.
