ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL

What theme is portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?In reality it was just what is usually seen in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich, and therefore succeed only in resembling others like themselves: there are damasks, dark wood, plants, rugs, and dull and polished bronzes—all the things people of a certain class have in order to resemble other people of that class. His house was so like the others that it would never have been noticed, but to him it all seemed to be quite exceptional. He was very happy when he met his family at the station and brought them to the newly furnished house all lit up, where a footman in a white tie opened the door into the hall decorated with plants, and when they went on into the drawing-room and the study uttering exclamations of delight. He conducted them everywhere, drank in their praises eagerly, and beamed with pleasure.

Which phrase best defines mood in literature?A) the location of a story
B) the atmosphere of a story
C) the attitude of the writer
D) the traits of the characters

Answers

The correct answer is B. The atmosphere of a story

Explanation:

In literary, the mood is one of the most important elements because this stablishes the general atmosphere of the events described as well as the emotions or feelings conveyed to it. For example in a gothic story, the mood is related to mystery and fear rather than related to happiness or peace. Additionally, the mood is constructed through other literary elements that include the setting, tone of the author and language. According to this, the phrase that best defines the mood in literature is "The atmosphere of a story".
