Mood is the overall emotional feeling or atmosphere that a literary work evokes in the reader.
How it differs from similar terms:
- Tone = the writer’s attitude toward the subject (e.g., sarcastic, reverent).
- Style = the author’s characteristic use of language and sentence structure.
- Mood = the feeling produced in the reader (e.g., gloomy, hopeful, suspenseful).
How authors create mood (brief):
- Word choice and imagery
- Setting and description
- Sound devices (rhythm, alliteration, onomatopoeia)
- Pacing and sentence length
- Details and sensory language
Examples:
- “The abandoned house groaned under the wind.” → mood: eerie, suspenseful.
- “Sunlight spilled across the picnic blanket as children laughed.” → mood: cheerful, peaceful.
