The Sun Also Rises: Chapter XIV~Mood

Hemingway leaves the reader with the idea that all is well at the end of Chapter fourteen. The chapter ends with the sentence, "You could not be upset about anything on a day like that." Hemingway includes this to prove the good time the group was having in Spain. They were able to better enjoy themselves than in Paris. This signifies that the characters are perhaps getting to know one another better, and for this reason are able to spend time with each other doing the things they love. The mood is carefree and content. There is more for the characters to do, see and experience in Spain; therefore, they are able to find enjoyment out of their time there. The mood in a story gives the reader knowledge of the characters feelings, emotions, and personalities.
