Provided you're asking about the classic short story The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce, the irony (or at least one example of it) is that the frontiersman mistakes his wife's illness for death and in the process of preparing her body for a morning burial, he inadvertently bring about her actual death. (Specifically, he ties her hand with ribbon and lays her prone body near an open window where she is attacked and killed by a mountain lion during the night).

How does the author create suspense in Boarded Window?

First, allow me to analyze your question piece by piece. "How do the author" Astonishing! The "author" must be some sort of dual minded figure, considering that he is considered to be a plural noun; it is obvious that this is not a grammatical error, considering the complexity and depth of your question. Is he two headed? "crate suspense in the boarded window" Now, first of all, suspense is extremely hard to crate. Considering that it is an intangible idea created by humans in the lack of required or desired information, I would recommend at the very least buying a wooden crate, measuring no more than 6 inches by 6 inches by 6 inches, made of ebony exclusively and adorned with nails made not from simple iron. No no, you are going to need platinum at the very least to even get suspense to consider being crated. Unfortunately, this all flies in the face of the boarded window, an extremely difficult obstacle to overcome when using such an expensive device to ensnare suspense. If you MUST capture suspense in the boarded window, it is my recommendation that you lure it into the planks and window itself, and then put said items into the crate. In this way, you are still semantically "[crating] suspense in the boarded window." For lures, I recommend other literary devices with which suspense may be familiar. Repetition and suspense sit well together, and irony often gives suspense a nutty aftertaste which collectors adore. If you're wealthy enough, you may be able to purchase a dramatic situation, available in most book stores. Dramatic situations are often used like hives for suspense, and many times, suspense can actually be created in the dramatic situation itself. Thus, you will be able to crate much more suspense with a self-propagating suspense maker! Good luck with your venture! I. A. Ignorant
