How does the use of hyperbole affect the mood of this poem
Tresset [83]
It exaggerates the mood. For example, you can lend someone a dollar out of a thousand dollars and not get it back making no big deal out of it or to be over the top and act as if it was a million dollars that you gave away instead of a dollar.
