How to Read Literature Like a Professor 4

I have always thought of geography as just the setting of the scene, nothing really important, but then the book showed me otherwise. It said proved to me that the geography is just as important as the main characters. The example that really worked on me was the one with Napoleon trying to take over Russia. If the it wasn't for the geography, maybe he would have conquered it. I also learned that in most literature works, the geography is also used as a plot. It reminded me of the quests part of the book, and how geography in somehow linked to making a quest.
