    A mystery involves an element that cannot be explained, while suspense involves an anxious feeling while waiting for an outcome to become known. The document then provides 6 scenarios as examples, such as a man hanging from a roof or a pool of liquid spreading in a shower, to illustrate situations that would create suspense by leaving the resolution uncertain rather than present an outright mystery.

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY?

    Cinzia Labbadia, Emily Southall and Georgi-Kate Morrison

    DEFINITIONS
    MYSTERY: Something that cannot be explained or understoodsomething puzzling SUSPENSE: An anxious or uncertain feeling whilst waiting for something to happen or become known

    SCENARIO 1
    A man hanging by his finger tips from the guttering of a roof high above teeming headless city

    SCENARIO 2
    Stairs, so many stairs spiraling upwards

    SCENARIO 3
    Flashing neon sign, now on - illuminating a sleazy little office with filing cabinet that has nothing but a quart of scotch on it.

    SCENARIO 4
    A darkened corridor with a door at the end of it, out of which a beam of light shines, illuminating a thin strip down the corridor

    SCENARIO 5
    The glow of the tip of a cigarette in the shadowy darkness

    SCENARIO 6
    A shower, and a pool of something that is not water spreading
