Walt Whitman What's the tone in "O Captain! My Captain!"? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 29 Dec 18:35
The tone in "O Captain' is that of grief and utter despondency. It is written about the assisination of President Lincoln and how the poet (Walt Whittman) believed that Lincoln's death left a great hole in the hearts of the American people.
