How does the imagery of the bell affect the mood of this stanza? down sank the bell with a gurgling sound; the bubbles rose and burst around. quoth sir ralph, “the next who comes to the rock won’t bless the abbot of aberbrothok.” the bell sinks into the water with a gurgling sound, as if trying to sound one last warning; this creates an ominous mood. the bell endures, no matter what sir ralph tries to do; this creates a triumphant mood as good survives in spite of evil. the bell serves as a symbol of the destruction sir ralph will do to the town; it creates a mood of despair. the bell rings loudly in celebration, creating a cheerful mood.
