Answer 1

Answer:

involved in a family activity. Hopefully, there will be no revolution of Pickwickians. I will gladly surrender and step aside when Tristram returns.

In Ch.19, after nine days of regression back to his days repairing shoes in 105 North Tower in the Bastille, Dr. Manette seemingly appears to be back to his old self. In a very interesting dialogue with Mr. Lorry the two men skate around the issue of the recent past and agree that the least said about the strange behaviour of the doctor the better. There is a very interesting point where Dr. Manette comments about the "innermost workings" of a mind. It is interesting to think about how many people have "innermost workings" of minds in the novel. What is motivating the Defarges? What is motivating Sydney Carton's life? Many people in this novel have "innermost" secrets. How and when will they erupt on the pages of the novel?

Mr. Lorry and Miss Pross destroy Dr. Manette's workbench. Dickens comments that they "hacked the shoemaker's bench to pieces" and then burned the pieces "in the kitchen fire; and the tools, shoes, and leather, were buried in the garden. So wicked does the destruction and secrecy appear to honest minds," continues Dickens, "[that Mr. Lorry and Miss. Pross] almost felt, and almost looked, like accomplishes in a horrible crime." What they were doing was attempting to destroy the past. Before this week's reading section is over we will see a person hacked to death and

Answer:

The importance of surprising your readers should never be forgotten by any aspiring writer. In fact, it should always be considered a vital part of a storyteller’s toolkit. By seeking to confound your audience with plot twists, subverting the reader’s expectations with ‘the element of surprise’ can often allow you to heighten dramatic tension in your story, add suspense, or introduce humour.

To understand how you can use it, we should start with a simple definition: the element of surprise is best described as the occurrence of anything in your story which is deemed by the reader to be unexpected. There are many subtle ways to achieve this—from character interplay and dialogue, all the way to the actual detailing of events within the story—but one of the most significant from a storytelling perspective is known as peripeteia.

Peripeteia—meaning ‘to fall around’ or ‘to change suddenly’—was defined by Aristotle as describing “a change by which the action veers round to its opposite, subject always to our rule of probability or necessity.” In other words, it is a means of presenting the reader with a plot device which completely defies a reader’s expectations. That’s the essence of what the element of surprise tends to consist of in works of literature.

There are, however, many ways writers can achieve this, through the use of plot points for example, so here’s a handful to give you some thought-starters.

1. Identity

Let’s say there is a plot twist regarding the identity of one of your characters, such as a character not turning out to be who they appear to be, for example. Perhaps they are posing as someone else (as seen in Twelfth Night), or maybe they are thinking one way through prose, but behaving another way through dialogue, deceiving themselves more than anyone else. It should also be said that the literary technique of the unreliable narrator—exposing before the reader a gulf between what is said and what is actually done—can also have surprising consequences on how the reader interprets the story through the manner in which the narrator comes across.

Alternatively, there could even be the discovery that someone is not who they say they are at all; an unmasking, of sorts, culminating in them perhaps unwittingly revealing their true identity. A character could end up being a completely different person altogether or, depending on your genre, even a shapeshifting monster. Any reasonable person would say this constitutes a surprise.
