Could you tell me two examples of suspense or  created by point of view  in "the pit and the Pendulum??" :)

ttp · Answer

I'm thinking the point of view is first point of view?

anonymous · Answer

For suspense 


There are lots of places in the story where you can see suspense.

Some examples are:

    When Sanger Rainsford has tried to make all sorts of confusing tracks and has then climbed a tree, trying to make no marks on it.  He is lying on the branch and General Zaroff comes and his eyes move up the tree toward the very branch where Rainsford is...  This scenario continues to be suspensful after Zaroff starts to walk away -- is he just toying with Rainsford?
    When Rainsford leaps out into the ocean.  Is he jumping out to his death?  Will Zaroff be cheated of his prey because Rainsford is just commiting suicide?  This could be the end of the story -- Rainsford decides he'd rather die than give Zaroff the satisfaction of killing him.
