What is the importance of the rectangle to the novel (mark all that apply)?

The importance of the Rectangle in the novel are: focal point of earthly depravation, focal point of man's low sinful state, and contrast for evaluation of one's own spiritual properties. It is a place that has become an important part of every character's life and routine; and where he or she is able to mingle with other people, make trade, avail of services and behave or be tested in his relationship with others. In the novel, the Rectangle is referred to an area surrounded by saloons; it was the property that was bought by Virginia using her inheritance money. Another similar structure in the story which is very similar to Rectangle is the Settlement.
