How does Gibbons use language and structure to convey a sense of fear in the novel? Fear is an emotional response from dangerous situations. In Psychology, It is a vital reaction to physical and emotional danger - simply put, we need fear to stay safe and protected. There are three types of fear: Superstitious, when you fear something that has been dramatised by your own imagination; Intelligent, when you fear something that is purely based on your knowledge of the world around you; Uncertainty, the fear of the unknown. Although these fears seem different, most people will experience a fear (or phobia) that consists of the three types.
As humans we are frequently held back by our fears, unwilling to risk losing for the chance to win. In ‘Look Both Ways,’ Sarah Watt demonstrates that a fear of death can prevent people from living fully, just as the blackness of grief and suffering can also cripple the human spirit. As we are faced with fear and hardships, we must each learn to cope and in becoming resilient, life is somehow more complete. Fear of death can play a major role in our life choices, however in order to experience life in its entirety, we must face our fears and develop resilience for the future. Fear can overtake the human mind, preventing us from acting as we would most desire.
In “Notes Towards a Politics of Fear” David Altheide claims that the news promotes fear in a way that achieves a certain goal. The news portrays things a certain way to get a certain reaction from its viewers. In “Fear in the News: A Discourse of Control” Altheide and Michalowski discuss the fact that fear is being used to provide entertaining news. Finally, in “The Construction of Fear” Glassner explorers the fact that “fear is constructed through efforts to protect against it. In other words, by trying not to frighten viewers, the news is actually creating more fear.
[In the Psychoanalytic chapter of the book Critical Theory Today author Lois Tyson does a wondering job defining Fear of Intimacy.] Tyson states “ Fear of intimacy- the chronic and overpowering that emotional closeness will seriously hurt or destroy us and that we can remain emotionally safe only by remaining at an emotional distance from others at all times.” (16) the way to put this is that we need to pick and choose very carefully who to get close to. There are many people that we often get close to and end up getting hurt because we get to attached. [Next Tyson describes] “Fear of abandonment- the unshakeable belief that our friends and love ones are going to desert us (physical abandonment) or don’t really care about us (emotional abandonment)”. (16) In other worlds she means when you get abandon by friends and

Webster’s dictionary portrays fear as, “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.” Fear may cease a person frozen in their pathway, or encounter them to exceed beyond the task and attack the situation. Likewise, fear may have enough power to control over the society. Typically, when society has a vast fear of an event or action, they most likely won’t perform that action due to the fact that fear has conquered a large portion of their brains. Since fear has most of the societies’ actions in its power, it is able to influence a majority of the society to withdraw and build up mental walls around themselves.

The sudden music heightens the audience’s awareness through the shock that it creates for the viewers senses.
Tension is a requisite of any story, as it is what makes it interesting and keeps the reader wondering what will happen next, it is often essential to the plot as well as it is created by a problem or an unknown factor, which makes the reader want to read on to the end. The first way Wells creates fear and tension is through the characters, in The Red Room there is only four of them so he is able to describe them in detail throughout the story, making it more vivid and real. Apart from the narrator, being one character, the other three characters only feature at the beginning and end of the story. This is due to their purpose in the plot; they are there at the beginning to start the story off with high tension, as this draws in the readers focus, and to try and ward off the narrator from The Red Room, creating a fearful nature about the place. Their purpose at the end of the story is to help draw it to a close, ending where it started, the only thing having changed being the narrator’s perspective of the events, making for an effective ending.
