Suspenseful 1/5
Suspense is a term used in theatre, film and literature studies. It derives from the Latin suspendere ("hang up") and means "to float in uncertainty" with regard to a feared or hoped for event. Among other types of dramatic suspense, suspense has received the most attention because it is the most "minimal" means of generating suspense and because suspense is considered the most intense means of generating suspense.
The term tension is usually used as a generic term for dramatic tension. As a subdivision, the scientific literature has agreed on the three terms Surprise, Suspense and Mystery. In practice, these three types of tension are always connected.
