Of Human Bondage What is the author's tone in Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 02:34 Last updated by Jill W on 30 Aug 15:15
Maugham's tone varies over the course of the text. In the novel's opening, the tone is sad and desperate. Over the course of the novel, however, the tone becomes hopeful and happy.
