    Suspense is created through situations that cause anxious uncertainty or intellectual curiosity in the audience. There are two types of suspense - intellectual curiosity about a teaser situation, and emotional involvement where the audience experiences the same emotions as the characters in tense or dangerous situations. Authors use methods like conflicts, precarious situations, unsolvable problems, foreshadowing, delays, and red herrings to develop suspense in a story and keep the audience wondering about the outcome.

    SUSPENSE – A

    DEFINITION
    SUSPENSE is a quality – in a situation, incident or in a behaviour – that
    causes anxious uncertainty.

     In a well-planned story, the suspense keeps the audience wondering


    about the outcome of the main character’ s conflict

     Anxiety increases as the plot develops The plot of a story is like an


    emotional rollercoaster. As you go up, and up, and up, the anxiety
    increases until the climax is reached.

    TYPES OF SUSPENSE

    SUSPENSE can be divided into two types: one type provokes intellectual
    curiosity; the other creates emotional involvement.

    a) Intellectual Curiosity: Situations, behaviour or incidents that pose


    an intellectual “teaser”
    b) Emotional Involvement: A situation, incident, or a series of incidents
    or behaviour that is so tense with feeling or imminent danger that
    the audience , too, experiences the same emotions felt by the
    character.

    METHODS USED TO CREATE SUSPENSE

    1. Conflict: The audience wonders how each conflict will end.


    2. A precarious situation: How will the person get him or herself out?
    3. An unsolvable problem: How can the person involved resolve it?
    4. Foreshadowing: Hints that the author gives about actions and events
    that will happen later in the story. The audience wonders if these will
    happen and what effect they will have.
    5. Delay: Postponing an anticipated event to keep the interest high.
    6. Red Herrings: Clues that lead you off track.
