Mood
Explanation and Analysis:
The mood of The Buried Giant is both grim and ominous throughout. From the start of the novel, the speaker emphasizes the desolate character of this early English landscape, marking it as very different from the reader's expectation of a lush and magical version of legendary Britain. The reader, therefore, is left with a grim feeling about the characters' prospects, as well as the possibilities which might befall them in this bleak landscape.
