Mood and tone: the feeling a text creates versus the author's attitude
Mood is the feeling or atmosphere a text creates in the reader, like suspense, gloom, or cheerfulness. Tone is the author's or narrator's attitude toward the subject, like sarcastic, admiring, or serious. Writers build mood through setting, imagery, and word choice: a dark, creaking house on a stormy night creates an eerie mood. The two can differ, since a narrator might describe a frightening scene in a calm, matter-of-fact tone. This literary mood is different from grammatical verb mood, which is about verb forms.
