How the Authors Create a spirit of Fear and Terror in The Ostler, The Red Room and The Superstitious Mans business relationship In found to answer this question I read the germane(predicate) stories, i.e. The Ostler by Wilkie Collins, The Red Room by H.G. Wells and The Superstitious Mans Story by doubting Thomas Hardy in great detail. I will now move to compare the methods the authors have utilised to create the impact mentioned above. In order to see which one has been more effective in conveying revere and terror, suspense and the extraordinary, in my opinion. Furthermore, I will endeavour to point proscribed the similarities and differences in tense, style and prose between the stories, using quotations where appropriate. Moreover, I will controvert the roles the various characters play. These people are important, as the indorser needs to send to some extent with the narrator and his description and interpretation of his human props as hygien ic as the aspect they are placed in. The opening to any fabrication is crucial, since the reader may not decide to continue with his intention to read all if he/she is not sufficiently interested in the first few sentences. In The Superstitious Mans Story the reader is struck immediately by an air of mystery, and in some manner feels privy to a secret. This is a story steeped in hearsay. The narrator (the seedmans father) fastidiously talks us through every minute detail putting remote the irons and things, and preparing the table for his breakfast in the morning. By placing so practically emphasis on mundane issues the impact of the extraordinary is in severe contrast. It is almost as if the reader is lulled into a sense of security, ... ...e unknown is intriguing to many. Even though the three stories have a different lift they all centre of the supernatural. They are all written pre-1914 - well forrader the advent of technology, which has ac celerated at an alarming rate. Nowadays, our culture revolves around technology and people require proof. It is essential for an author to set the scene, draw the reader in and when that is accomplished deliver the punch line. All of the authors succeed in doing this. The Superstitious Mans Story is too stark, and puts the reader on guard as to its content. I prefer the tardy style of the other two stories. In The Red Room and The Ostler the settings and the characters enhance the biz immensely. The characters are not developed enough in The Superstitious Mans Story, and the setting is rather boring.
