Suspense Review

Close Read

​Foreshadowing and suspense are created at the start of the story when the two parents discuss what might be wrong with their nursery and why they might need a psychologist's input. It foreshadows that there is a deeper issue with someone's mental state and that it is connected with children. Most readers will be curious about what this problem could be and how it relates to a nursery.

​The title of "The Veldt" foreshadows the importance that the veldt will have on the story. Readers know not to discount any issues that occur there.

​The line, "You know very well what he'd want," creates suspense because it establishes that there must be something unsettling in the nursery that both parents know a psychologist would like to see. The father, George, seems more reluctant to admit that there is a problem.
