Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: In “The Pedestrian, ” the mood is eerie and isolated; some might argue that the mood is threatening or foreboding. Bradbury creates this mood through his initial description of the city as Leonard Mead walks the deserted streets-by this, he creates a scene that is silent and desolate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mood could be described as depressing and dismal because of the fact that TV has taken over society, and everything is robotic. The theme is that with only technology and robots, life is depressing and boring. Literature plays an important part in society.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The setting is a city at night in a world that is focused on watching television. The roads are in disrepair and no one walks the streets at night. Because of this, the mood of the story is not positive and can seem gloomy or depressed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Representing swift and unforgiving state power to enforce social conformity, the car possesses the absolute authority to incarcerate Mead, as happens at the story’s conclusion. The car’s harsh tone and its inhumanity reinforce the theme of dehumanization in the story.
