    Connell uses the rising action part of the narrative arc to build suspense and tension. Specific plot events contributed to the buildup of tension and suspense. Rainsford falling off his boat causes suspense to build up, “A short hoarse cry came from his lips and he realized he had reached too far and had lost his balance” (Connell 2). This event builds up suspense by making the reader wonder what would happen to Rainsford after falling overboard. Another plot event that contributes a large part to the increase of tension is when Zaroff tells Rainsford that he hunts humans.…

    In the novel Grendel by John Gardner, the reader sees Grendel encounter many unexpected people and events.

    • Giving the audience more knowledge than the characters on screen builds the suspense immensely. When Chigurh comes up behind the police officer in the beginning of the film the officer is unaware of what is happening behind him or what is going to happen, but the audience can see Chigurh coming closer and closer and can anticipate that Chigurh is going to kill the officer. Another instance where this happens is when Chigurh asks the shopkeeper to call a coin, this creates suspense because the audience knows what the character is calling it for but the character doesn’t know that it’s actually for his life.…

    Reading provides us more suspense than a performance does. For example, in the Tell-tale Heart the main character waits at the door for an hour. This builds suspense by making us thinking about what will happen next. In a performance you can’t build that much suspense because you can’t have a character wait by the door for an hour. I don’t about you, but that would not be a play that I would want to watch.…

    Even their names help to convey this, Horrocks sounds very simple and English whereas Raut sounds European and slightly more upper class. The story is set in three key places, in a garden, a railway crossing, and an iron works, which all have their individual gothic elements. The garden is portrayed as a dark, still place, with an atmospheric sky looming overhead, the railway crossing is where Raut experiences a near death incident, but oddly enough Horrocks saves him, then the final setting, the iron works, perhaps the most gothic of all. ‘As they came out of the labyrinth of clinker heaps and mounds of coal and ore, the noises of the rolling mill sprang upon them suddenly, loud, near and distinct.’…

    I was in the garden again. The damp soil running through my fingers. The water soaking through the knees of my jeans.

    Gothic literature perpetually creates suspense and tension in the form of both tradition and contemporaneity. Both forms of gothic literature share a theme insanity that helps the writers to create suspense. In the traditional gothic literature ‘The Signalman’ written in 1866, Charles Dickens successfully builds suspense by writing in first person with numerous imagery. In addition, suspense and tension are well-developed through various techniques, such as third person point of view and familiar imagery, by Roald Dahl in the contemporary gothic literature ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’.…
