Because of the neutral, even-handed tone used by the author, Beloved’s mood is largely dictated by the events that occur. For example, on the day that Paul D takes Sethe and Denver to the fair, the novel’s mood is at its lightest. For once, Sethe believes that she can have a happy life. The mood grows grave and depressing, however, when Paul D confronts Sethe about her murder of Beloved.
