Journal 3

comparison:
readers are attracted to moments of intensity in a writer's work. By what means and with what effect have writers in your study offered heightened emotional moments designed to arrest the reader's attention?

Writers get two characters involved in a secret that reveals the past of a character. Like in Ibsen, when Hjalmar finds out that Gina had an affair with Mr. Werle. Hjalmar starts finding out other things about other chracters and it gets everyone involved in the play, which creates the climax of the play. In Oedipus, Sophocles reveals Jocasta's secret about how she wanted to get rid of her cursed baby and because of that revealed secret, it creates the climax and leads to the tragedy. The emotion caused by the intense moments are worried, well for me personally. Why? Because I was worried what will happen to Hedvig, she is an innocent character to me and I don't want anything to happen that will ruin her happiness.
