leaving the theatre in a deafening silence. The insightful casting of William Thornhill (Nathaniel Dean), an award winning actor and voice over artist, brings you to a better understanding of the archetypical character. The casting is percipient and the excellent Ursula Yovich plays the roll of the narrator, which through the narrator the audience is able to come to the perspective of the aboriginal people. As well as mind blowing casting, the visionary scene and atmosphere of the theatre is also exquisite
A Comparison of The Story Of An Hour by K. Chopin and the Red Room by H.G. Wells I have read two short stories from the nineteenth century which both contain tension and suspense. They both lead up to a sense of the unexpected at the end however it is achieved in different ways that they are told. The Story Of An Hour is the shorter of the two. The story starts suddenly and a tragedy is introduced immediately. The opening paragraph is very short as it is only one sentence but a lot of
Tension and Atmosphere in "The Red Room" by H.G.Wells, "The Signalman" by Charles Dickens and "A Withered Arm" by Thomas Hardy To investigate tension and atmosphere, I have looked at three pre1900 pieces- 'The Red Room' H.G.Wells, 'The Signalman,' Charles Dickens, & 'A Withered Arm' Thomas Hardy. They use a variety of different techniques, each with their own individual style but achieving the same overall effect. They focus on setting, description of characters & use of language. The

The symbolism of the red room talks about a gothic area in which
Comparing The Red Room by H.G. Wells and The Darkness Out There by Penelope Lively The "Red Room" was the earlier of the two stories written in 1896 by H.G. Wells and "The Darkness Out There", written by Penelope Lively was published in1984. The titles of both stories suggest that fear or horror will play a part. "The Darkness Out There" generates an eerie feeling by not defining a specific threat but leaving it open to the imagination. "The Red Room" is not as scary but the use of red
The Creation of Fear and Suspense in 'The Red Room' by HG Wells HG Wells conveys the experiences in the red room in many ways throughout the story. He is an English author and a political philosopher, most famous for his science fiction romances that variously depict alien invasion, terrifying future societies and transformed states of being. The story of the red room is written in first person, which suggests that the reader believes it is from personal experience. The `Red room' can be
The Red Room I am writing an essay, based on the story ‘The Red Room’, and will try to explain what makes it such a good mystery story. Some of the main reasons for why it’s a great story include the vocabulary and words the author has used and the setting that the story is created in. The author uses gothic language, giving the story more suspense; he also sets the story in a haunted setting which builds up tension. The story was written by HG Wells, between the turn of the 20th century

spine making goosebumps emerge on your skin underneath your lightweight jacket. Arriving upon the scene to the dance, I wasted no time getting from my Toyota pickup truck to the old yellow limestone building, towering over the faint streetlights where Sydney was performing. I scampered across the street, diving and dodging oncoming traffic as if i was in a scene from the old atari game Frogger. Ascending the concrete steps I pulled my warm callused hand from my jean pocket and placed it on the cold lifeless
