Literature is both a language form of art and an instrument for human expression. British and American literatures are two examples of famous literature in the world. The aim of this study is to analyze intrinsic element specifically the characters and settings in an American Literature by Ernest Hemingway, a short story entitled "The Capital of the World." Characters are carefully evaluated and classified into five various types based on their role, function, complexity, development, and character reflection. The qualitative descriptive method is used in this study, with a concentration on narrative descriptions rather than numerical analysis. Reading, categorizing, and analyzing intrinsic elements, with a focus on characters and settings, is required for data collection. This research provided some significant findings, such as the types of characters and story settings. Characters have been classified into ten different classifications based on the five categorizations mentioned in the study, and settings were divided into two categories, such as setting of places and setting of time.
