The tone of the story of Orpheus is sad, lonely and painful
because the story concentrates on Orpheus looking for ways on how to bring his
wife to life after being bitten by snakes. His depression and sadness is shown
in his powerful music that pushes him to defy the natural destiny of his wife,
requesting the Gods of the underground to let him redeem his wife. The pain he
felt when his wife died after the wedding is extraordinarily too much to handle.There is also quite a tension in the mood of the story sine Arachne challenges the God of wisdom and crafts making her and ungrateful person. It entirely and greatly contributes to the total effect of the story of Arachne because its tone and mood speaks so much of the intensity and degree of conflict that arises in the story.
