Tone

The tone of the poem "The Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy is something along the lines of "I told you so." It is a condemning tone that almost gives the impression that the author knew before the ship sailed that the Titanic was not invincible. There are parts in the poem where the author sets a dark mood. An example is when the author describes the extravagant jewels but then ends the stanza describing them as "lightless" and "blind." However the author becomes sarcastic when he talks about the fish asking why it's so "vainglorious down there." The author also uses visual imagery to portray the ship sinking and people dying. He also uses visual imagery to refer to the ship at the bottom of the ocean. An example is when he talks about the sea worms "grotesquely" crawling on the sunken ship.
