Suspense is a state of anxiety or excitement caused by mysteriousness, uncertainty, doubt, or undecidedness.[1] In a narrative work, suspense is the audience's excited anticipation about the plot or conflict (which may be heightened by a violent moment, stressful scene, puzzle, mystery, etc.),[2][3][4][5] particularly as it affects a character for whom the audience feels sympathy.[6] However, suspense is not exclusive to narratives.
