Tone in literature refers to author attitude toward central topic . Author reveals their feelings and opinions to reader , conveying author intentions behind text tone of story always described using adjective. Attitude that character or narrator, author takes toward subject . Thank you for your wonderful cultural educational channel.

Hello sir,i just wanted to thank you for making the video ,it was helpful but please consider making more of such videos on sonnets like williams poems, i believe its going to help students like myself in identifying the tone and sound devices used throughout the poem more since its usually sonnets that we are gradually tested on.

This was a lovely introduction yo tone, thank you! I was finally able to think a bit more clearly about some aspects of literature I couldnt seem to understand before. I did still want to ask though, are there any guides, books or videos that you would recommend on how to understand the tones of different pieces that elaborate more on the process?

Thanks so much for your kind words, @anoakenstaff ! Unfortunately, we don't have any immediate recommendations for guides or books on tone itself, but if we can think of any, we'll pass them along. Does anyone else out there have any recs?

@@SWLF Ah, that's alright, thank you! This might just be a bit of tautology, and I'm sorry, but is there any other way you'd recommend to learn more about tone and how to identify it correctly in prose?

@@anoakenstaff No problem! The best approach (to our mind) is simply to continue to read complex works of fiction or poetry and try to parse out what the tone of a given narrator or character is. We mentioned Kafka in this video, and his works are terrific tests of your tone-spotting abilities, but there are many other works that spring to mind. Viet Than Nguyen's The Sympathizer is a great recent example (the narrator's attitudes towards Vietnam and the United States are incredibly complex--so much so that it is difficult to tell if he loves or hates both countries!).
