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.
