Tone

Tone is a factor within poetry that allows for altercation of perception due to the situation. The tone of the story evokes the way we see it as described. Tonal shift allows the reader to encompass different and sudden change of feeling in relation to the plot and situation. For Instance when Hamlet first learns of his father's murder a sudden change from the mysterious, dark mood evoked by the Ghost to a shift to shock, anger, and revengeful. Such technique allows authors like Shakespeare to incorporate sudden, shocking, and  forward ideas that one can absorb to alter mood and perception of the plot. This allows Tone to work parallel to the climax.

In " An Athlete Dying Young" A.E Housman the rhyme scheme of aabbcc allows for a more peppy, up-beat tone.

Symbols allow for a greater intricacy and depth, supplementing the plot, characters, and setting to show the author's complexity. The implementation of symbols by both authors builds upon the story and enhances they dynamics, as well as maturing the novels. Symbols contribute to the view of readers with many accompanying aspects to allow the story to grow as they can be applied to anything in the books. This allows for multiple views and ideas. If symbols where not implemented we would find a very dry, dull, unsophisticated novel.
