Suspense In The Hound Of The Baskervilles

In the introduction, the play is said to be set in a large suburban house which has good solid furniture. It is comfortable but not cosy or homelike. It is an evening and they are seated in the dining room round a table near a fire. This setting creates a very eerie mood as they are in a large empty house. The fact that it is an evening produces a stronger impact on the mystery, (suspense as the events unfold).

1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”. This arouses our suspense because we are told Mr. Martin is planning to murder this woman. The suspense is maintained with Mr. Martin’s thoughts. We as an audience are given his thoughts through the use of the 3rd person omniscient point of view. His thoughts are mostly on the issue on his dislike of Mrs. Barrows. Because of this, he

Baz Lurhmann’s creation of the film Romeo and Juliet has shown that today’s audience can still understand and appreciate William Shakespeare. Typically, when a modern audience think of Shakespeare, they immediately think it will be boring, yet Lurhmann successfully rejuvenates Romeo and Juliet. In his film production he uses a number of different cinematic techniques, costumes and a formidably enjoyable soundtrack; yet changes not one word from Shakespeare’s original play, thus making it appeal to a modern audience.

Theater is an established art form that has served as public entertainment for several years. Theatre provides us with a mirror of the society within which we live, and where conflicts we experience are acted out on stage before us.

People reads books and they get their captured by the suspense the authors use to write their stories. Suspense is a key point for most readers it keeps them reading the book to see what happens next. Both Edgar Allan Poe and Richard Connell are very good authors that use a lot of suspense throughout their short stories. Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado” and Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” are two stories full of suspense. It’s unpredictable, surprising that we can’t figure out what happens next. .Through conflict, setting, and diction Poe and Connell are able to build suspense.

The passage “An Invitation to a Murder” written by Josh Pachter, included a variety of similarities and differences to the drama “The Dying Detective” written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Josh Pachter described the scene of the gathering for the murder a locked-room mystery. Furthermore, the poison that killed Mrs. Abbott was in a medicine bottle; however, the poison that killed Victor Savage was from an ivory box. In contrast, the poison that murdered Victor Savage was presented in an ivory box. Moreover, the mood articulated in “An Invitation to a Murder” was happy for the reason that Mrs. Abbott thought life would be improved after her husband’s death. Conversely, the mood in “The Dying Detective” was sorrowful as everyone suspected Sherlock

The effects from the change in tone, created by Mary Harron, result in another completely different reaction from the audience. The reaction from the audience is to smile upon the main character Patrick Bateman and be amused by his slips of insanity. In Ellis’ novel the reaction from the audience during Bateman’s torturous performances are viewed as horrendous and demonic, nothing to make the reader amused.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the tale of a mythical beast which is said to haunt the Baskerville family. The story centers around Dr. Watson, who is sent out by Sherlock Holmes to the Baskerville manor to uncover clues.

They were often used as tools to assist in their evil ploys or for sex, and were treated poorly and unequally.

A moral character like Holmes, fighting fiercely for the good side represented by the glow, would fill them with hope for a safer city with fewer crimes. The frightened attitude of a Victorian audience is perhaps represented by Watson who says ‘I am not subject to impressions, but the dull, heavy evening, with the strange business upon which we were engaged combined to make me nervous and depressed.’ When Watson says he is ‘not subject to impressions ‘ we can think back to his first impressions of Miss Morstan which were quite romantic. Perhaps this irony of Watson not being subject to impressions could emphasise the idea that he as a kind-hearted man tries not to be influenced by the negativity of his surroundings and this brings even greater mystery to the reader as we question how bad () the negativity

Long winded description and complex vocabulary are infused into Doyle’s writing to accentuate Holmes’s great intelligence. By incorporating such a heavy, educated tone upon the mysteries, the tales of Sherlock Holmes are expressed as very complicated stories that challenge readers in comprehension as well as encourage curiosity through puzzling cases.
