In Short Stories, Wells creates tension (a sense of anticipation) using: personification of dramatic irony and vivid imagery. Many of these techniques recur in the stories, and there are also some values ​​and moral points of view that are often referenced. Many of the values ​​that Wells expresses through his writings were advanced for the times in which he lived. The tension in Well's stories is initially created through the titles in both "Redroom" and "the Cone". Unlike “The Treasure in the Forest” where the content of the story is immediately clear, these two titles leave more to the reader's imagination about the content of the story, creating both mystery and tension. Even the name “Redroom” creates tension because red is a very strong color that can be associated with blood; it gives the reader the idea that something bad is about to happen. In “The Cone” what the title actually refers to is not revealed until the end. As things start to get more difficult for the character Raut, the reader can begin to sense that the discovery of what "the Cone" is will not be pleasant, creating a growing sense of tension as we reach the end of the story. the character stories are created with very little detail. In “The Cone” and “The Treasure in the Forest” the main character is called by his surname. In “Redroom” no name or description is offered for the character. However in “Redroom” the less important characters are described in more detail, usually by a prominent and often grotesque characteristic, for example “the man with the withered arm” this makes you start to think of this character as somehow subhuman . The characters lose their humanity because they are not given a name, with the grotesque feat...... in the center of the card...... among all the stories there was “Redroom” and the one that I my least favorite was “Treasure in the Forest." I liked “Redroom” because it has all the characteristics of a ghost story, it has a series of believable characters, some of them exaggerated to make them seem more horrible than they really are I particularly liked the air of mystery created by the title and the words that Wells uses "I walked along the freezing and echoing passage". .Wells uses a number of techniques to create tension in his stories, relying on an understanding of human psychology and using the human senses as his tool. He uses them in all three stories most of the time, although he does so in different ways.
