When and where Tuck Everlasting set?

Tuck Everlasting is set in the year 1881. Babbitt never specifies a location but has stated elsewhere that what she had in mind was a cross between the heavily-wooded Ohio frontier which her ancestors had helped to tame in an earlier century and the Adirondack foothills of New York where she was living at the time she wrote the book. Winnie Foster lives in a proper, middle-class house with a fenced-in yard on the edge of the town of Treegap. Her family supposedly owns the nearby Treegap wood, but nobody really owns the wood. It is an ancient, mysterious place, something, Babbitt hints, which has been left over from a previous creation.

Why had Winnie changed her mind about running away in Tuck Everlasting?

I don"t think she changed her mind- at least until the incident where Mae- who seems to be like Granny of the Beverly Hillibillies gets violent and kills the Man in the Yellow Suit by either hitting him over the head with a shotgun, or by using the gun for its more usual purpose- shooting him, he dies- and well, as I said, things are getting violent, up to then there was no violence ( and why should there be among immortals) but things got a little jealous- I think, have not seen the film the man in the yellow suit- why is he anonymous- was an F.B.I. agent, and the garment was actually a trench coat with a garrison overbelt. Tan could look yellow! Granny is a cop killer- yecch! talk about a plot twist- that"s a dime turn at warp velocity!

What is the problem in tuck everlasting?

First, there is the "moral" probelm of being immortal. Winnie will one day die, while the Tucks will live forever. It is the dilema of whether Winnie should follow the path of life as it naturally is, or live forever like the Tuck's do.

Another problem that rises is the man in the yellow suit going after Winnie, but then Mae Tuck killing the man. Mae is set to be executed, but since she cannot die they break her out of jail. Winnie takes Mae's place in jail. A message here is not to be afraid of death. In the epilogue, Jesse stands over Winnie's grave almost a century later.
