Which of these definitions best describes mood in poetry?

English
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The emotional quality of a literary work.

Explanation:

Mood in poetry refers to the poet's choice of words - he or she may use depressing words, uplifting words, neutral words, etc, depending on the mood, or emotions they want to convey. Mood is the general feeling within a poem, the emotions you as a reader may experience while reading the poem.

It doesn't have to be a message about life - while all poems have a particular mood, not all poems speak about life lessons. The attitude of the poet is known as tone, rather than mood. The cause for a character's actions is known as motivation, not mood.

Several times in the scene, Antigone's tomb is referred to as her bridal chamber. How might this affect the mood of the audience
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The repetition that Antigone's tomb has become her nuptial chamber, makes the reader lose hope that she will marry and be happy, which leaves everything sad, melancholy and depressive.

Explanation:

Antigone was a girl who was engaged to Creon's son and so she should be happy and anxious for the moment when the wedding would take place, and for the moment when she was in her nuptial chamber. This anxiety about marriage, should make the reader and the audience happy, because something good and happy was about to happen.

However, Creon, who was a king, determined that one of Antigone's brothers, who died attacking the city in which he was born and raised, should not be buried and have a dignified funeral. Whoever dared to bury him would be condemned to death.

At that moment all of Antigone's happiness ended and she decided to disobey Creon and bury her brother. This means that Antigoe is condemned to death even before the wedding. Antigone's death saddens the reader and the audience, and the repetition that her tomb has become her nuptial chamber has caused the mood of sadness and horror to increase more and more.

Mood is the feeling that the author wants to convey with a story.

Why was the wife of bath married 5 times in the Canterbury tales
Alex

The Wife of Bath begins her description of her two “bad” husbands. Her fourth husband, whom she married when still young, was a reveler, and he had a “paramour,” or mistress (454). Remembering her wild youth, she becomes wistful as she describes the dancing and singing in which she and her fourth husband used to indulge. Her nostalgia reminds her of how old she has become, but she says that she pays her loss of beauty no mind. She will try to be merry, for, though she has lost her “flour,” she will try to sell the “bran” that remains. Realizing that she has digressed, she returns to the story of her fourth husband. She confesses that she was his purgatory on Earth, always trying to make him jealous. He died while she was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Read this excerpt from "Look Homeward, Angel." And whatever he touched in that rich fortress of his soul sprang into golden life
NNADVOKAT [17]
The sensory details used to convey images in this excerpt are mainly to do with the grape vines and also the flowers. The grape vines are depicted as "brawny ropes of brown" which conjures up an image of thick strong sinews  which spread all over the porch and around the windows and form frames around the windows in "thick bowers" and the flowers in "riotous glory" exhibit wonderful colours and with pleasing textures like the velvety nasturtiums.
