classic example of this is, “They blathered on as if nothing was wrong! Couldn’t they hear it? They knew! They were mocking me with their innocent smiles and sips of tea! I can bear it no longer!” Thinking wildly, the villain is feeling guilt and stress over this murder. As his mind races on, the thoughts in his head create a sense of panic in the reader, which in turn creates suspense. Through the use of dialogue and onomatopoeia, Poe constructs a sense of suspense that ensnares the reader and pulls him or her into the story. This is nothing less than we can expect from one of the greatest writers of the 19th century!
