What is tone in a novel?

Answer 1

Tone is the attitude a writer has towards the subject they're writing about. It is evident in they're diction, style, and opinion if they express one. Mood is the atmosphere created by the setting, and actions of people and characters in it. It also relates to how the reader emotionally responds to these elements like sadness for a tragedy.

Answer 2

The tone is how the author feels about the piece. Common words to describe tone are: Formal, informal, serious, humorous, amused, angry, playful, neutral,

satirical, gloomy, conciliatory, sad, resigned, cheerful, ironic, clear,

detailed, imploring, suspicious, witty…

Answer 3

Tone is that which is conveyed by the narrator of the story. A narrator can be friendly, exuberant, resistive, unreliable, bias, going into protracted explanations, even ramble at times.

Atmosphere is that which is conveyed by the setting of the story. A dark deserted castle, high on a mountain top, in the depths of night, during a thunder and lighting storm, has a foreboding atmosphere.

Mood is that which is conveyed by the characters themselves: by what they say and what they do.

Answer 4

Angry Tone
Happy Tone
Sad Tone
etcetc

"I hate you all" he yelled in an angry tone
"Is... Is it coming?" someone whispered in a tone of terror

I'm not an amazing writer but that is pretty much what it means =3

It is how something is said.

Answer 5

The tone of a novel refers to the attitude and manner of speaking of the story's narrator. So the first thing to do is to concentrate on what the narrator is saying and determine how he says it. This is easy to do in obviously narrated stories such as 'Heart of Darkness' or 'Don Quixote' and easy also for stories written in the first person. Some stories however has the narrator suppress to near invisibility and it is difficult to attribute a tone to the story at all.
