Uddrag
The main setting of the story is in Scotland, Edinburgh in a pub and in Africa through Gordons descriptions and Mac’s imagination.
There is a big contrast between “the awful Scottish weather” (p. 4, ll. 114) where Mac lives and the “the hot tropical sun and the smell of the red dust of Africa” (p. 3, ll. 87). We can see that Mac is not happy living in Edinburgh, as he longs for a change of scenery.
