There are many differences you may find through watching a performance and reading a story. The story will sometimes create more suspense, where the performance may leave some out. Depending on how you like to imagine stories you may like plays or stories better. I prefer reading a story and choosing my picture of the character and setting. A difference I discovered was the suspense level. The story can often create more suspense than watching a performance may. You can see this many times when there is waiting in a story, but the performance can’t exaggerate this as much as the story may. An example of this may be in the Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, it shows this when the young may slowly creeps in and take him an hour to get him
