What is the overall tone of this poem? Hap by Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh:
rjkz [21]
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence. 

Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.

Therefore, your best answer is reflective.
