Suspense In Harry Latimer
I would undoubtedly recommend this book to most readers. This book focuses on a strong conflict between protagonist and antagonist, and additionally offers some romance in the midst. I most certainly say that this is a good book for suspense. For example, when we learn that the royal governor of South
Carolina is planning to sign a warrant for the protagonist’s, Harry’s, arrest “ Innes, if you will prepare a warrant for the arrest of Harry Latimer, and have it ready for me after breakfast, I will sign it.” This evidence shows suspense because we don’t know what will happen to Harry for this was unanticipated and the outcome uncertain
Furthermore another twist will come on later which then makes the warrant’s execution uncertain. With all

    Edgar Allan Poe uses suspense in his story, “The Tell-Tale Heart” when the old man the narrator is trying to kill wakes up and does not go back to sleep. “I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in the bed, crying out-“Who's there?” (Poe, 356). This tells you how he adds suspense because after this happened, they were just staying still for a while waiting for another sound to be made. Another use of suspense in the story is, “He was…

    Her uncle says she knows too much and that she can't live because of it. In the struggle against her uncle for her life, he loses his footing and she pushes him off the train instead, killing him immediately. This whole scene is suspenseful because the viewer has no idea what is going to happen and they fear for Charlie's life with her. In a way, I view this movie and conceptual suspense as one of those films where the character has no idea where the outcome will take him or her and the audience knows what is going to happen so while the character can't hear the viewer, they're screaming in suspense at the scene to keep him or her from doing whatever stupid thing the audience knows they're about to do. I find using conceptual suspense to create a film than just a little bit of suspense and some surprise. I find it makes those films uninteresting to watch after the first viewing. There is nothing new to feel for the character as with regular horror films. In Shadow of a Doubt, I feel the audience will not lose interest and will continue to feel that suspense and concern for the character, instead of with the character, for years to…

For example, when Noah stabbed Lucius there was a question of “Why?”. “Why?” is asked because Noah committing this act was a sudden and surprising twist. No one would have figured that innocent Noah would be tainted enough to hurt Lucius. Overall, the literary suspense depicted shows the literary merit elements used.…
