Setting and Point of View in: "The Little Mermaid"

Setting: The setting takes places at first in the ocean and around her father's castle.  Then when she turns into a human it is at the prince's castle.  Another part of the setting is at the witch's house where she makes the potion for the little mermaid to turn into a human.

Point of View: The point of view is in third person limited ominiscient.  The narrator really only lets us in on the thoughts of the little mermaid.  We know certain characiteristics about the grandmother,prince, father, sisters, etc. But, we don't know what those characteristcs are thinking.  The reader only knows the little mermaid's feelings.
