Describe some of the linguistic tools a playwright might use to set the mood or tone of a play

What will be an ideal response?

A playwright might use meter—patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables; onomatopoeia—the use of words that express the feeling of their meaning through sound; assonance—the repetition of vowel sounds; or alliteration—the repetition of consonant sounds, to set the tone of a play by provoking an emotional response in the audience through their aural sense.
