3. Voice Lesson: Syntax #4

4. Read and Think:
When I had waited a long time, very patiently, without hearing hum lie down, I resolved to open a little – a very, very little crevice in the lantern. So I opened it – you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily – until, at length, a single dim ray, like the thread of a spider, shot from out the crevice and full upon the vulture eye.
-- Edgar Allan Poe, “The Tell-Tale Heart,” The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Writings
Analyze the syntax in the passage.

Use of phrases
Use of dashes
*Your response should use C-E-I format.

5. Responses
Poe’s use of syntax creates suspense. By interrupting the flow of the sentence with phrases such as, “very patiently…without hearing him lie down…a very, very little” he slows down the movement of the sentence and increases the tension. The reader has to wait for the action to unfold as slowly as the action itself. Poe uses dashes in two of the sentences which can mark a sudden change of thought or a parenthetical remark that is emphasized. The dashes he uses set off a direct address to the reader and slow down the sentence, creating apprehension for the reader. The parenthetical address to the reader increases the tension of the sentence and involves the reader directly in the action by forcing the reader to wait for the slow, secretive actions revealed by the sentence. The syntax in Poe’s sentences not only heightens the tension, but creates a dark, suspenseful mood.
