Fear is an element of life; everyone faces it. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a clear representation of this. Throughout this early 1900’s mystery, the driving force of events is the fear of what may happen to the Baskerville family as a result of the evil intentions and actions of Sir Hugo, one of the early Baskerville leaders. Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are left to solve this eerie case after Sir Charles’ sudden death and the arrival of the new heir, Sir Henry. In the novel, Doyle uses fear as the strong force that rules over people and their actions through the Baskerville legend, sounds on the moor, and characters losing their mental fortitude.

My character would be afraid of being in danger and not knowing about it until the last moment. This fear would drive my character to be cautious and always in the know.

The unknown is a massively basic human fear. Being able to play on people’s fears is definitely key to making an incredible movie. Nobody knows who the antagonist exactly is, and at first is revealed as a creature like thing. Eventually it is revealed that it is indeed human, and he’s simply a stalker that’s gone to far. The feeling of paranoia is also a basic human fear, because the feeling of being watched is a terrifying thing.

In the novel Odds Against Tomorrow by Nathaniel Rich, fear is constantly being brought up. The protagonist Mitchell Zukor lives with fear everyday. Mitchell calculates worst-case scenarios of natural disasters. He works for a company that sells fear, FutureWorld. One of the worst-case scenarios Mitchell had predicted comes true. A hurricane hits New York City. Mitchell and his co-worker Jane go off to find his friend from college Elsa. The novel shows us that Mitchell deals with fear with calculation of risks, Elsa unlike Mitchell doesn’t dwell on fear but rather tries to avoid it.

I learn the only way to win is to nip it and I went on my first airplane ride for 15-hours.

Over the vast history of the human race, fear has protected us from possible threats. Whether it be rational or irrational, fear is always present and active in our minds.
