Question

In Sense and Sensibility, which literary device(s) does Jane Austen use to create suspense? Select all that apply. foreshadowing metaphor flashback characterization tension

Answer 1

Answer:

In sense and sensibility, Jane Austen created suspense using Foreshadowing (A).

Explanation:

Literary devices are narrative techniques used by the author to add excitement to the story and keep the readers glued to the story.

“Sense and Sensibility”  by Jane Austen is a novel that displays the danger of having extra sensibility. She always uses simple and direct sentences in her novel. She uses irony when she talks about Marianne’s character telling that though she is generous, she is practical.

Foreshadowing is used because Jane created suspense regarding the climax and only throws hints. She also gives a false climax and we get to know the real at the end.
