Question

Which two parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" develop a suspenseful mood?

Answer 1

Answer:

 The description of the plot, the subplot, the imagery and the elements of the figures of speech and the entire setting when the parents invoke the supreme power to return their dead son to them, are instances that raise the level of thrilling horror. At the same time, when the dead son returns, there is a ghostly sound of footsteps and the idea of the dead son being brought alive taken in, we find the suspenseful mood gets enhanced.
