The Representation of Tone in The Turn of the Screw by Henery James Ess

The tincture of a refreshed is defined as a way for the actor to express his/her attitude toward such legend elements as characters, setting, or situation. Tone is present in e very novel any authors writes, as it is this literary device that sets the sense of humor of the story for the lecturer. Henry James uses tone very effectively in the novel, The Turn of the Screw. The story begins with a joyful and dreamy mood to frightening and furious in the middle and finishes with sorrow and mournful in the end. The berths in tone argon caused by the changes in attitude and actions by the governess.In the beginning of The Turn of The Screw, the tone is very joyful and dreamy. The story begins with Douglas and friends entirely telling each other scary stories. It is very peaceful and everyone is enjoying the stories cosmos told. The tone is very joyful as represented by Is nt anybody going? It was almost the tone of hope. Everyone will puzzle (James, 6). This shows that everybody is having playfulness telling each other scary stories and are willing to stay and wait to here the story from Douglas. It was very hopeful as the stories macrocosm told were pleasant for the people around the campfire. The tone remains positive at the beginning of the governesss story. The governess arrives at the house and sees this beautiful girl who is very polite and is too good for her own self. The governess is very happy that she was able-bodied to get the position for the job and to experience both of it that she believes that it is almost a dream. This is shown when she says such a place as would somehow, for diversion of the you idea, take all colour out of story-books and fairy-tales(James, 16). This proves that the governess believes that everything such as Bly, the place in which they are s... ...clusion, the mood represents that the governess has truly given up on the children and is very hapless that nothing else can be done to help them and get justify of the ghosts that are haunting them.In conclusion, the shifts in actions and attitudes of the governess cause the tone to shift by means ofout the novel. The tone begins with being joyful and dreamy to furious in the middle and mournful in the end. This all concludes, that the literary device tone is very effective in portraying the mood of the story through the characters actions to the reader. Tone is perhaps one of the most important literary devices authors use to connect the mood of the story to a readers heart and really makes them feel for the characters and what they go through.Works CitedJames, Henry.
