Best answer: It should be tied directly to the theme.

Explanation: Tone is the author's attitude or feeling about the subject and should support and reinforce the story's theme. It doesn't have to create suspense (that’s a device, not required), nor must it have a sudden shift before the end. While tone should be coherent, it can vary for effect—so "remain consistent from beginning to end" is not strictly true.
