Mood the atmosphere or emotional effect generated by the words, images, situations in a literary work
A good example of an emotional effect generated by words is when Hrothgar is describing Grendal's mother's home and he describes it as an ominous and frightening place. He does this so that fear and caution could stay in the minds of beowulf and his men. So that once they enter Grendal's mother's home, caution and awareness would unconsciously affect their actions.
