Asking the questions reinforces that Clitheroe is appropriately selected for the position of commandant. 02132010/SPECMS/2010‘© The questions help to introduce the theme of deceit because it becomes clear that Nora has been withholding information from her husband with his knowing. «The questions also create suspense since we are eager to get to the bottom of this oversight in passing on the information to Clitheroe. ‘The location of the letter and the reason for Nora withholding are still unclear at the end of this series of questions. ‘© Helps to produce an animated dialogue right at the start of the exifact. This piques our interest and we want to know more. ‘* Characters’ responses to the questions help to unravel the plot or, in some cases, even cause ‘more suspense for the audience. Thus the audience is engaged by the opening questions. ‘© Contributes to the mounting tension and buildup of climax within the drama, By increasing the speed of the exchange the tension builds, foreshadowing the climax and emotional exchange between Nora and Clitheroe.
