What is the mood of there will come soft rains?

Answer 1

The theme is that technology is harmful to man (as evidenced by the bomb) but nature will always beat technology (as evidenced by the tree falling and knocking over the chemicals, creating the fire that burns down the house.)

I find the above view to be inadequate. I think Bradbury was writing a poignant poem, lauding man's great accomplishments, but expressing sadness over our capacity to destroy ourselves. It showed our great works outliving us, still trying to serve us, but without our spark, our creativity and our presence to maintain it, it inevitably perished.

Answer 2

"There Will Come Soft Rains" was a short story written by Ray Bradbury in 1950. The story is set in the future, August of 2026 in a suburban home in the U.S. In the original story which was published in Collier's magazine, the events take place in the city of Allendale, California in 1985, but this date was changed in later printings. The story is about a self-sufficient house that continues to cook and clean for a family that no longer exists due to a nuclear blast.

Answer 3

"There will come soft rains," by Sara Teasdale, talks about the theme of how mankind is detriment to the life cycle of nature, rather than being good for it. Teasdale uses the literary techniques rhyming, alliteration, personification, and imagery to bring out the theme. The mood of the poem is quietness and the author's attitude towards humans is that they are bad for nature.

Teasdale rhymes every two lines of her poem and separates the rhyming matches from each other. "Ground" and "sound" rhyme as well as "night" and "white." So do "fire" with "wire" and "one" with "done." The rhyming is used thoroughly without skimping a single line. Along with rhyming there is definite alliteration. The repetition of the letters can be picked up easily. In the first two lines "s" is repeated. The words "soft," "smell," "swallows," and "shimmering" all start with "s." Then in the third pairing of two lines, the letter "w" is repeated. The words "will," "wear," "whistling," and "whims" all start with "w."

The alliteration corresponds with the personification of the poem. "Whistling," which is part of that alliteration is also a personification given to the robins. The "frogs singing," and the "robins wearing their feathery" fire are also personifications. Imagery is everywhere in this poem. The "soft rains with the smell of the ground," "robins wear their feathery fire," and "frogs singing at night" all are examples of imagery identified in the poem. All these techniques add up to back up the theme of humans being a detriment to nature and how they would not be missed.
