Tone is the author’s or narrator’s attitude toward the subject, characters, or audience in a literary work. It is conveyed through word choice, sentence structure, and stylistic elements.
✅ Example of Tone:
“I can’t believe she did that,” he muttered, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
- Here, the tone is sarcastic — the speaker doesn’t really mean what he says at face value.
Other possible tones include:
- Serious
- Humorous
- Angry
- Optimistic
- Melancholy
- Respectful
- Bitter
