The setting of The Giver is extremely dull. In the story there is no true happiness or pain. Everything is controlled and rules are demanded to be followed. The people see their world in black and white. There is no vibrancy in the objects, which is symbolic to the way the characters felt. The townspeople were neutral inside, never possessing feelings of extreme happiness or sadness.
