Depending on how you describe a landscape, you evoke a very different feeling - from a desolate moor compared to open, rolling, sunlit hills, for example. If nature or society take a more direct role in your story, it could affect the lesson, depending on how the different characters handle the different obstacles throw their way by the environment.How does the Setting of a story affect the Mood?
The setting affects the mood by creating a setting that reflects the mood. like a dark run-down castle will create a creepy mood while a bright sun filled meadow with birds and baby bunnies creates a cheerful happy mood.How does the Setting of a story affect the Mood?

The scene would fill the viewer with trepidation and fear for Meg Ryan's safety,

Well if it takes place at night that is usually a clear indication that something bad, dangerous, secretive is going to take place.
If the author intends for something rather dark to take place in a scene. For example, a crime or a women about to go cheat on her husband. Then it is less likely to happen in a setting that is during summer time out on the beach. The author would most likely make it happen in a dark alley on a cold, damp rainy day or a dark, empty house on an isolated hill. It creates anticipation in the reader and suspense and an overall dramatic affect.
Also the author would describe the houses and the pedestrians and the weather around as dull, grimey, gloomy etc etcHow does the Setting of a story affect the Mood?
