Mood

Mood The atmosphere or feelings created to make the reader feel a certain way. Can be created by using Setting,Voice,Tone or Theme. For example the mood in Hamlet when Hamlet is morning mourning his father after the announcement of his mothers remarriage would be classified as somber. Another example would be: on a dark and stormy night, in the little village of Duffy, evil was unleashed. This sets the mood as gloomy or desolate and suspicious.
