Would parting, then, still

Mood is a prominant literary device in this story. The couples in the series of stories go through many different scenarios, where the only guideline is a happy ending. Yet as the story itself changes, the mood created does as well. The first section of the story is rather lighthearted, where “John and Mary fall in love and get married (289)".
