ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -Mood is the general feeling or atmosphere that a piece of writing creates within the reader. Mood is produced most effectively through the use of setting, theme, voice and tone. Tone can indicate the narrator’s mood, but the overall mood comes from the totality of the written work, even in first-person narratives.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mood: the way a literary text makes you (the reader) feel. Atmosphere: the way a place or setting makes you (the reader) feel.

Detailed explanation-3: -In literature, mood is the feeling created in the reader. This feeling is the result of both the tone and atmosphere of the story. The author’s attitude or approach to a character or situation is the tone of a story and the tone sets the mood of the story.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mood is the atmosphere of the story, and the tone is the author’s attitude towards the topic. We can identify both by looking at the setting, characters, details, and word choices. By doing so, it will help us find meaning in the story or passage and help us feel more connected to the writing.

Detailed explanation-5: -Use sensory detail. All five senses – sight, sound, touch, smell and taste – can be effective in creating a strong atmosphere. All you have to do is make sure you’re using the most effective sense for the feel you want to create.
