What Is The Tone Of Charlotte Bronte's Evening Solace Annotated

“Evening Solace” allows Charlotte Bronte to dramatise the conflicts between the speaker’s past emotions to their current emotions by using imagery, similes, and an ominous tone to describe the speaker’s loneliness. In order to create the ominous tone seen within the first stanza the speaker uses diction that draws on the feeling of loneliness while avoiding to portray these feelings as positive or negative as seen in “In secret kept, in silence sealed” (2). The ominous atmosphere is further created when the speaker uses anaphora in “the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures”(3) which attempts to explain how the speaker’s dreams were only valuable as long as they were hidden from society.
