In literary analysis it is helpful to acknowledge or create a distinction between these terms:
mood represents the writer's feelings towards his/her subject matter; tone results from her/his attitude to the topic.
The mood might be sad or joyful or any other emotional state whilst the tone could be ironic, adulatory etc and is more a mental state.
