Question

What can an author do to promote a readers suspension of disbelief

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct use of images, symbols and word play will be vital to create, and promote, a readers suspension and disbelief. These images, the environment of suspense created by them, and the words used by a writer, will enhance this suspension and this disbelief. In literature this is vital as it is one way in which a writer will be able to maintain a reader´s interest in the story. Without this, the emotional and sensible part of the reader will not be engaged and soon interest will fall. But through the use of suspensful words, and images, as well as the use of symbols that create a sense of wonder, and leave the reader wishing for more, the writer promotes that sense of suspension and disbelief.
