Mood
•The climate of feeling in a literary work.
•The choice of setting, objects, details,
images, and words all contribute towards
creating a specific mood.
•For example, an author may create a mood
of mystery around a character or setting but
may treat that character or setting in an
ironic, serious, or humorous tone
"The Masque of the Red Death”
By: Edgar Allan Poe
The story portrays a man, Prince
Prospero and several individuals
living in a tenable palace at an
unknown country to prevent
death. The palace contains seven
rooms that hold distinctive roles in
the outcome of the story. Poe uses
the importance of the colors to
describe the life progression of an
individual.
"That at the eastern extremity was hung, for
example, in blue-and vividly blue were its
windows. The second chamber was purple
in its ornaments and tapestries and here
the panes are purple. The third was green
throughout, and so were the easements.
The fourth was furnished and lighted with
orange- the fifth with white- the sixth with
violet. The seventh apartment was closely
shrouded in black velvet tapestries...panes
here were scarlet- a deep red color" (2).
Furthermore, the author arranges the room in a
significance sequence. To illustrate, the blue
room is located in the east, where the sun rises
while the black room's location is in the
western part of the building, where the sun
sets. The rooms' locations give an impact in the
story because the east, where the sun rises,
symbolizes birth and in contrast, the west,
where the sun sets, represent death. Initially,
the characters' motives in the story is to prevent
death but the essentiality of the colors and
sequences of the rooms used by Poe shows how
one cannot avoid the ending of the life cycle.
Tone is a literary technique that is a part
of composition, which encompasses the
author’s attitudes toward the subject and
toward the audience implied in a literary
work. Tone may be formal, informal,
intimate, solemn, somber, playful, serious,
ironic, condescending, or many other
possible attitudes.[1] Tone and mood are
not interchangeable (not the same).
In many cases, the tone of a piece of
work may change or evolve. Elements
of tone include diction, or word choice;
syntax, the grammatical arrangement
of words in a text for effect; imagery, or
vivid appeals to the senses; details, facts
that are included or omitted; extended
metaphor, language that compares
seemingly unrelated things throughout
the composition.
TONE WORD BANK:
ominous, mysterious frightening, repulsive
majestic, omnipotent impressionable, admiring
EXAMPLE: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
“There was a steaming mist in all the hollows, and it
had roamed in its forlornness up the hill, like an
evil spirit, seeking rest and finding none. A clammy
and intensely cold mist, it made its slow way
through the air in ripples that visibly followed and
overspread one another, as the waves of an
unwholesome sea might do. It was dense enough to
shut out everything from the light of the coachlamps but these its own workings, and a few yards
of road; and the reek of the labouring horses
steamed into it, as if they had made it all.”
Answer: As we look at the underlined words -steaming mist, hollows, clammy, dense – there is
a sense of mystery, of secrecy. Then we see the
others – forlornness, evil spirit, seeking rest,
finding none, intensely cold, slow way,
overspread, unwholesome sea, shut out
everything, reek of labouring horses – hints of
evil, ominous.
“Mysterious” and “ominous” are two possible
complementary tones, both of which suggest the
unknown, perhaps strangeness. Other tones may
also be appropriate.
