What is the author's tone in The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-portrait by Frida Kahlo?

As might be expected from a private journal that spans years, the tone varies throughout the book. The tone could be said to most closely mirror Kahlo's state of mental and physical health at the time of the writing. Some of her entries are upbeat and playful where she might show one of her dogs playing or the sun shining over an Aztec pyramid. At other times, Kahlo is clearly in a dark mood, despairing over her pain and probably thinking death would be a sweet release from her suffering. At these times, Kahlo's text might be especially fragmentary and written with an unsteady hand.
