Tension and Atmosphere in The Red Room by H.G.Wells, The Signalman by C

Tension and Atmosphere in The Red Room by H.G. come up, The guideman by Charles deuce and A Withered Arm by doubting Thomas HardyTo investigate tension and atmosphere, I have looked at three pre1900pieces- The Red Room H.G.Wells, The Signalman, Charles Dickens, &A Withered Arm Thomas Hardy. They manipulation a variety of differenttechniques, each with their own individual style but achieving thesame overall effect. They focus on setting, description of characters& use of language.The Red Room is a tale of a man on a quest to discover the truth aboutthe legend of The Red Room in Lorraine Castle, as the young mansfate unfolds the earshot are led with him, they feel his worry, hearhis thoughts and experience his terror. The Red Room has such amystery behind it, fear itself nearly leads him to his death. A talethat lacks warmth and everything about it instils terror.The title of the story has a suggestive air, the word red makes the hearing think of blood, danger, and death, in The Signal Man, redis also the main focus colour for the same reasons but this time inthe form of the danger light in the mouth of the tunnel.H.G.

Therefore this raises questions in the audiences mind,if only he had gone straight there, he may of saved the piteous manslife, if only, he had believed him. Finally, that it now lookedincredibly doubtful that it was coincidence what the signalman hadimagined, the words, gest ure and even the manner of the traindriver that had cut him down. Pity is also a great part in theconclusion it makes the story have a more memorable and sadatmosphere. Finally the way that the narrator, whom had written thestory after it had happened, finished of by giving the audience yetmore to think about, reminding us of its obscurities, unbelievablecoincidences and in turn reinforcing the mournful atmosphere.close at the mouth of the tunnel, I saw the appearance of a man,with his left sleeve across his eyes, passionately waving his rightarm.
