MOOD
Miss Lonelyhearts, by Nathanael West focuses on a world,
which has no faith in humanity, and where trust in God is a
ridiculous joke. West believes that such a world cannot be
helped, even when God provides it with a way of hope in the
form of Miss Lonelyhearts. This hope is abolished by the
misjudgment of this morose crowd.
The mood of the novel is therefore gloomy like the color of the
sky when rubbed with a "sailed crasser." The word pictures
throughout the book evoke colors like gray and black. The
painful letters smeared with sorrow that Miss Lonelyhearts
receives, further emphasizes this mood of depression. Towards
the end there is brightness when Miss LonelyheartsÂ’ spirit is
rekindled, but the gloom resets with his murder.
