Question

Which two sentences best define mood in literature?

Answer 1

Answer:

The atmosphere that the writer creates  and the emotions that a literary work evokes

Explanation:

The attitude of a writer toward the audience is not the mood, this is an example of the tone.

The atmosphere that the writer creates is the mood in literature. The atmosphere of the piece is implied through the mood that the writer creates in their writing.

The emotions that a literary work evokes is also the mood. The atmosphere of the piece is also read through the emotions reader feels while reading. Feelings that are evoked create the mood of the writing, as well as the mood that the reader has while consuming the text.

The attitude of a writer toward the subject is not the mood. This is also the tone.

The interpretation of themes by the reader is not the mood in literature. This is actually the meaning and perception of the piece.
