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.

Diction.

Diction is what comprises a poem to make it unique. The diction of a poem is another essential factor to making a poem your own. Each individual has their own diction that affects the overall perception for sound, imagery, and tone. The diction of poems allows for individualistic style and pattern to underlay an identity. Diction further goes to alter and make the perception and views of tone, mood, and imagery come to life. Essentially diction can invoke anything the author wants upon the reader during reading.

Imagry is an essential aspect in poetry. Its ties with setting and vividness are crucial points for the development of the poets initiall contentments. The perception of the poem is majority related to the poets use of imagery. For instance, In Yusef Komunyakaa Slam Dunk Hook  "Muscles were a bright motor Double-flashing to the metal hop Nailed to our oak." The authors imagery effectively conveys the perception of the working muscles partaking in the game; one example of infinite to highlight the importance and structure of poetry through imagery.

Sounds of poetry definitely allow for the true expression and tone in a poem through the structure of the diction. Literary devices such as: rhyme scheme, alliteration, caesura ect... all have different effects in the diction to alter perception. In " An Athlete Dying Young" A.E Housman the rhyme scheme of aabbcc allows for a more peppy, up-beat tone. Other devices such as caesura allows for more vocal, concentrated expression for specific feeling ex:"To-day". The countless devices available in writing allow novelists' to be able to express even the same views in similar manor, yet have a completely different interpretation thus highlighting the value of sounds in poetry.

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.

Setting is the foundation for both authors writing to coincide with plot, characters, and conflict. Austen and Shakespeare implement setting to underlay tone for each story, as well as mood. The darkness of caves and castles coincide with the plot and theme of Hamlet to portray the tonal setting. Elizabeth is subjected to formal and uptight expectation involving her future family life. This is done through the setting of British countryside, and sophisticated balls and parties in manors. Both authors use setting to supplement external pressure and intimidation upon the protagonist. This successfully leads to the same overall mood and tone presented later during the climax in which the main characters try and overcome. In a sense they are not only overcoming their conflicts but the settings they coincide with.

Characters prove to be highly complex, and interesting in both Austen's and Shakespeare's writings. Hamlet and Elizabeth are juxtaposed as protagonist roles that present many similarities in relation to conflict and plot: Conscious, Spite, and Pressure affecting both characters coincide to highlight the importance of characters in Hamlet and Pride and Prejudice. Both characters are faced with life altering decicions in wich they can pick only one irreversible outcome. Taboo and immoral action of the time period haunt both characters in letting them desire what they truly want. Guilt and family pressure also present hurdles to the protagonist to show the similar issues for entirely different characters in both time periods, settings, and novels.
