Answer:
The details that create the sense of suspense about what is to come in the story are the narrator's reactions and his words "these events have terrifiedhave tortured-have destroyed me."
Explanation:
As we can see, as soon as the lines begin, the narrator begins to warn people that he is neither crazy nor dreaming. He is describing certain events that, according to him, have been traumatizing and have destroyed him.
Our position as readers is to wait for something that will generate suspense or fear, because the author is definitely not going to describe a pleasant scene.

Answer:
Explanation:
If we must die then why shall we exist?
Why strive, fall back to struggle to achieve, and love,
What is the meaning of this blessing and a curse,
If we must die then why is this life so colorful and real,
To have the wits and time to ponder at this question
Knowing full well there is no answer
And knowing that there is no escape.
If we must die and be forgotten,
And have the world go on without us
Most we can do YOLO headfirst into existence,
And live a life that was so meaningless and weird
You can look back on it and say
"If we must die, at least I got to live"
Answer: As the very theme of the story is the absurdity of trying to escape death, the clock serves as a reminder that death is inevitable. It symbolizes the passage of time.
Explanation:
<em>"The Masque of the Red Death"</em> is Edgar Allan Poe's short story, in which a group of thousand people, including Prince Prospero, lock themselves down in an abbey. They want to be safe during the deadly pestilence (Red Death).
In the story, The Seven Rooms of the abbey represent seven stages of life. In the Seventh Room, "against the western wall", there is "a gigantic clock of ebony." The Ebony Clock serves as a symbol of death and its inevitability, while its swinging pendulum symbolizes the passage of time. When an hour passes by, the clock chimes, and everyone listens to it, aware that they have lost an hour of their life and that death is approaching. Prince and his people could not stop the pendulum from swinging - similarly, they cannot escape death.
