Tone of "The Apparition"

"The Apparition" is an intensely vengeful poem. The tone throughout the poem is most definitely full of bitter revenge. The speaker's words and language easily prove this to be the case. The speaker wants this woman who betrayed him to feel his horrendous pain. He wants this woman to think of him when she's with her new love. He even takes it so far as to say that he will come back as a ghost to haunt her. He blames his unhappiness and her rejection on the current situation of his life. He plays the part of a jilted lover incredibly well; it is with his clear tone that the audience understands his feelings. The audience easily identifies and sympathizes with the speaker in his pain.
