8) Setting DONE

     The fact that the tents and most things inside the circus were black and white gave the overall environment a more mysterious and ominous vibe. Plus, it always opened during the dark of the night. The stereotypical circus today consists of fabrics of vibrant reds, yellows, and blues, and they are typically opened during daylight hours which gives off a vibe of cheeriness and excitement. Also, the circus moving to a different unknown location every so often elicited the feeling of mysteriousness for those who wished to attend. Circuses today always advertise sometimes months in advance for when they will arrive to a set location so that the population can be prepared for the visitation and attend. If The Night Circus's setting had been that of a modern circus, the environment would have lost its ominous and intriguing edge.
