Figurative Language Setting Tone and Mood

Figurative Language Shapes Mood/Tone

Tone and mood can be set perfectly to the enviorment that you want it in. Figurative language allows you to do that perfectly. If you want a romantic tone and a lover mood, the author can compare the setting or person that is lovely with beautiful things of the world. For example, your eyes are stars shining in the sky. This metaphor is a compliment to set a light tone and a romantic mood between the two characters. The tone and mood can also be set to worry, For example, I just got robbed and they took EVERYTHING. This hyperbole may worry people that when our character was robbed, even his bed was taken.
