Question

What is the tone in "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar?
bitter

humorous

celebratory

determined

Answer 1

So what we get in "We Wear the Mask" is a lyrical exploration of all that pretending and the truth that hides behind it. And since the truth is a rather painful one, we get the sense that all of those masks aren't doing such a great job of covering things up.
its hopeful if anything, however because there are still predjudices in the world I would think its bitter.
