In his essay, Alfred Hitchcock argues that suspense arises not from confusing the audience but from creating a clear sense of impending danger. He uses the example of a bomb hidden under a table: if the audience knows about the bomb while the characters do not, the tension builds as viewers anticipate the moment of revelation. This clarity allows for emotional engagement and deeper suspense, as opposed to simply puzzling the audience with unclear scenariOS.
