: Re: What do you think about having very different tones in a single story? What if a chapter is incredibly depressive, dark, with intense language. And the next reads almost like a dialogue from

In Shakespeare's Othello, Othello's speech often changes tone between scenes. He often sees himself as uncivilized however his tough is quite the contrary. However, in some scenes his language becomes more "brutal".

This was just an example, I think that changing the tone of dialogue in a character can both allow the reader to identify the mood of a situation. For example, if a character who is always optimistic suddenly starts contemplating his life and mortality it would allow the reader to see that this character is in a perhaps "grave" circumstance.

This question allows for a lot of opinion and this is just mine, you may find some people who think that changing a characters tone is "inconsistent" with the story.
