Answer 1

Answer:

Thriller literature and film also uses settings to build suspense, since the main characteristic of a thriller is precisely the fact that it builds suspense.

Explanation:

Almost anything can work to build suspense, but common settings are: dark forest, desolated or abandoned villages, even large gothic houses.

Both thrillers and Gothic literature are similar in the sense that they try to build suspense and generally deal with dark subject matter. They are different in that Gothic literature has a much more specific aesthetic, while thrillers are more broad aesthetically speaking, and overlapp with other genres as well.
