HALP!

what's that thing, literary term, where nature echoes the mood/tone of the character/story/whatever? (ps not pathetic fallacy. the other one.) yessss, I sound stupid. shh, my smart brain's busy formulating other things re: paper. (also, I'm sick. again? still? worse? something.) btw, I tried asking this question to the common room at large, but just got a bunch of blank stares.

which brings me to, also - WHY AM I THE ONLY ENGLISH MAJOR IN THIS HOUSE? SUCKTASTIC. JHASJKADH.

I've sent my mum off into musing mode on that one 'cause she's from the good old days of education where people used to learn things, as my memory of English is largely of understanding Shakespeare unlike 98% of the class, and loathing Far From the Madding Crowd with a passion.

Her first suggestion was ambience but then she went "Hmm, no, I'm sure there's something more specific than that".

Good luck with finding out, and I'll keeping prodding her memory while I can!

it turns out I didn't need it for my paper, but it's still kinda bugging me. yes, though, it's definitely more specific than ambience. thxu :D
