Key Examples in Song of Solomon
Mood
Explanation and Analysis:
The mood in Song of Solomon is introspective and thoughtful. It is, for that matter, a grim mood: few characters in Song of Solomon lead happy, contented, fulfilled lives; among these, even fewer are happy with who they are as people. The narrator's incisive and realistic but cutting tone generates a general mood of upset, with the reader's own perhaps unexamined behaviors demanding meditation and introspection.
