Tone, Mood, and Irony in The Tell-Tale HeartSlide2
Tone: The way the author creates the mood or the author’s attitude (what the author does to make you feel a certain way).
Example: punctuation (style), diction, repetition, sentence length
The story is full of suspense, mystery and fear by utilizing POV and a variety of different sights and sounds. Poe interlinks the sounds, senses, imagery and diction, and uses one to reinforce another in order to create a perfect and horrific and suspenseful mood. As a reader reads the story they will be immersed by atmosphere the author creates and continually be frightened.Slide3
What various tones are and how they work together to make the mood?
The whole story, the narrator is trying to – at the same – time convince us that he isn’t crazy and share all the details of how he covered up his crime. The story uses a lot of descriptive sounds to create mood of fear, anxiety and paranoia. The effect is an overwhelming guilt that builds to his panicked confession
