Within the characteristics of the thriller genre, include characteristics of, suspense, themes and characters, and story plus setting. Suspense is a key characteristic of a thriller as it gives the views the fascination and excitement. These develop from an uncertain and strange event during the narrative, which keeps the viewer interested. Then the suspense rises to give an even more dramatic moment once the climax is reached, giving the viewer something to remember, which is often an obstacle in the way of the protagonist and their goal. As said by Alfred Hitchcock the audience experiences suspense when they expect something bad to happen and have a superior perspective on events in the drama's hierarchy of knowledge, yet they are powerless to intervene to prevent it from happening.
Suspense in thrillers is often intertwined with hope and fear, which are treated as two emotions aroused in anticipation of the conclusion - the hope that things will turn out all right for the appropriate characters in the story, and the fear that they may not. The second type of suspense is the "...anticipation wherein we either know or else are fairly certain about what is going to happen but are still aroused in anticipation of its actual occurrence.
