Narrator's attitude is the attitude that the narrator
takes towards events and characters in a literary work. Note that this has to do
specifically with only the narrator and events that happen in the story. For example,
as I see you have read "The Yellow Wallpaper", the narrator in this work is the woman
who is writing the journal entries. Her attitude towards her husband and the situation
she is in is anger and frustration. She is fearful and paranoid about her husband
analyzing and diagnosing her.
Author's tone, on the other
hand, is the author's attitudes towards the subject and audience in a litary work. We
could also say that this is the point that the author is hoping to make by writing this
story. For example, the author's tone in "The Yellow Wallpaper" is full of anxiety and
depression. This is used to make a point about how dependent women were on men in the
time period this story takes place in (late 19th
century).
I hope this helps!
