Tone refers to "the author's attitude toward the subject." It conveys the writer's feelings or perspective regarding the content they are discussing, and it can greatly influence how the reader interprets the narrative or message.
The other definitions you've provided relate to different literary concepts:
- The time and place in which a story takes place is referred to as "setting."
- A comparison between two otherwise unlike people, objects, or places is known as a "metaphor" if implied, or a "simile" if stated explicitly using "like" or "as."
- A type of figurative language in which a non-human object is given human qualities is called "personification."
