The choice of words used in the "Not Waving but Drowning" by Stevie Smith exemplified a tragic tone.

<h3>What is a tone?</h3>

A tone is the mood or attitude of the author as exemplified in the text and their choice of words.

Some of the words used are as follows:

  • "Nobody heard him, the dead man,"       [Line 1]
  • "(Still the dead one lay moaning)"            [Line 11]

From the textual evidence above, it is clear that the tone of the poem is tragic as it speaks to someone who was fighting for his life but got his SOS call misinterpreted.

zaharov [31]
The barons stand beside Arthur, and would make him king, because it is "God's will", and because he is king, they deem their loyalty with him, and would protect him at all cost.

So the barons are loyal, and would give their all to defend the rightful king
