A Raisin in the Sun

4. This play is all about suspense in general. The play opens with all of the family members being in suspense about the arrival of the money and where the money would be invested. The family knows the day it will come, but they know not the hour. In this play, dramatic suspense is created by Ruth and her "sickness." The reader does not know for sure what is exactly happening to her, but they know that something is up. Then, Mama and Ruth reveal that Ruth is pregnant to the audience before Walter gets to know.

Then, once Mama receives the money, everyone is eager to know where it will go to. Once it goes into the hands of Walter the suspense is created by whether or not his liquor store will succeed. When it fails all suspense is lost. I believe that there is a lot of suspense incorporated into this story because of all the fard decisions that have to be made by family members when they know it will affect the rest of the family.

Othello - Suspense

4. In this story, a great amount of suspense is created by the plot. By the end of Act IV, the audience is on the edge of their seat wondering how the story is going to end up with just one more act left. Shakespeare creates this suspense by giving one character the ability to harm so many lives. Iago has intertwined the lives of the main characters and has created a huge ball of fury by the end of Act IV. Also, but this time, the audience realizes that the story has to be a tragedy. The also know that with tragedy comes death and nobody has died yet. They are so eager to know who is going to die and how it is all going to play out in the end. This suspense is created because it is completely dramatic. Besides Iago, only the audience realizes what is truly going on. The audience knows that the ball of fury is about to burst, but the characters in the play besides Iago are either in utter confusion or anger. There seems to be proof for their anger, but little do the characters know that the whole situation is a complete lie by the deceitful Iago.
