In this excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred
Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot, the tone is one of uncertainty,
hesitation, and introspection. The speaker, J. Alfred
Prufrock, expresses his inner thoughts and anxieties as
he contemplates going out into the world.The tone is
established through the use of phrases like "Let us go
then, you and I" and "Like a patient etherized upon a
table," which create a sense of hesitation and
detachment. The imagery of the "half-deserted streets"
and "restless nights in one-night cheap hotels" further
adds to the tone of introspection, loneliness, and a
longing for something more.The tone reflects Prufrock's
internal struggle, his fear of judgment or rejection, and
his uncertainty about taking action. Throughout the
poem, the tone continues to be one of self-doubt and
contemplation, creating a mood of unease and
existential questioning.Through his careful choice of
words and reflective imagery, Eliot effectively
establishes a tone of hesitancy and introspection in
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

BEWARE!!
Tone and mood are both
important elements in
understanding the overall
emotional impact of a poem, but
they differ in their focus and
effects.
Tone: Tone refers to the poet's attitude or perspective towards the
subject matter of the poem. It reflects the poet's voice, style, and
emotional stance. Tone can be conveyed through the poet's choice of
words, imagery, and other literary devices. It sets the overall
atmosphere of the poem and influences how the reader perceives the
poet's intentions.For example, a poem with a sarcastic tone may use
irony or mocking language to convey a critical or sardonic attitude
towards the subject. In contrast, a poem with a tender tone may use
gentle language and sentimental imagery to convey warmth and
affection.
Mood: Mood refers to the emotional atmosphere or feeling that the poem creates
for the reader. It is the emotional response or impression that the poem evokes in
the reader. Mood is established through the poet's use of words, images, and
other literary devices to create a certain emotional impact.For example, a poem
with a somber mood may use dark and sorrowful imagery to evoke feelings of
sadness and melancholy in the reader. In contrast, a poem with a joyful mood
may use vibrant and lively language to create a sense of happiness and
celebration.While tone emphasizes the poet's attitude and perspective, mood
focuses on the reader's emotional experience and response to the poem. Tone is
the voice of the poet, while mood is the emotional atmosphere established
through the poet's literary devices. Together, they work to shape and convey the
overall emotional impact of a poem.

He wrote, “When the rooms were
warm, he’d call, and slowly I would
rise and dress, fearing the chronic
angers of that house” (lines 7 – 9).
The specific choice to use the word
“chronic,” a word often associated
with sickness and permanence,
enhances the ominous and
melancholy mood of the poem.
The mood of the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe can be described as
melancholic, dark, and eerie. The poem starts with a somber tone that
intensifies as the story progresses. The narrator’s emotional state is evident
in the way he describes his surroundings and his language becomes
increasingly desolate and haunted. The presence of the raven further
enhances the gloomy mood as the creature represents a constant reminder of
loss and death.

The tone of the poem can be seen as despairing, terror-stricken, and

haunted. The narrator’s desperate longing for his lost love and his inability to
escape his grief is reflected in the tone of his inner monologue. As the raven
visits him, the tone becomes increasingly fearful, with the protagonist
trembling in fear of the bird’s presence and its ominous messages. The
repetitive “nevermore” adds to the haunting tone by echoing the narrator’s
desperation and hopelessness.

Overall, the combination of the mood and tone in “The Raven” creates a
chilling and macabre atmosphere, capturing the reader’s attention and
evoking a sense of unease and foreboding.

In summarizing the tone and mood of a poem, it is essential to consider the overall atmosphere and emotional
undercurrents conveyed by the poet. The tone refers to the attitude or perspective of the speaker, while the mood refers to
the emotional atmosphere or ambiance established by the poem. Here is a general approach for summarizing the tone
and mood in a poem:

1. Read and analyze the poem: Study the content, language, imagery, and structure of the poem to gain a deeper
understanding of its theme and message.

2. Identify the speaker’s attitude: Consider the speaker’s tone and how they present their thoughts, emotions, or
observations. Determine whether the tone is enthusiastic, contemplative, ironic, mournful, or any other attitude.

3. Assess the emotional atmosphere: Examine the overall mood created by the poem. Is it joyful, melancholic, eerie,
peaceful, or suspenseful? Look for words, images, and symbols that contribute to this emotional ambiance.

4. Reflect on the poet’s intention: Think about why the poet created this particular tone and mood. Consider their purpose,
message, or the effect they aimed to achieve through their choice of language, imagery, and tone.

5. Summarize the tone and mood: In a concise statement, accurately describe the tone and mood of the poem, using
adjectives or phrases that capture the prevailing attitude and emotional atmosphere.

Remember that the tone and mood of a poem can be subjective, and different readers may interpret them in various ways.
It is important to provide evidence from the poem to support your analysis and interpretation of the tone and mood.
