JAWS

Suspense and Tension Analysis for the following quote:

“Sharks have everything a scientist dreams of. They're beautiful―God, how beautiful they are! They're like an impossibly perfect piece of machinery. They're as graceful as any bird. They're as mysterious as any animal on earth. No one knows for sure how long they live or what impulses―except for hunger―they respond to. There are more than two hundred and fifty species of shark, and everyone is different from every other one.”

I think the suspense comes when the reader is told what a wonder the shark is. They are in many respects superior to man. This builds up the mystique of the shark which adds suspense when we actually encounter them in the book.
