Night Alice Munro
Fear and anxiety
– My troubles returned with the night
– Demons got hold of me
– I got a sense too late
– I could do nothing but walk on
Mental health
– wondering how wide awake I was
– I knew mere sleep wasn’t likely
– The more I chased the though away, the more it came back
– Why not try the worst?
– I got a sense
Family relationship
– the relationship between us was always unsettled
– ...but there was nothing natural about it
– We weren’t accustomed to such greetings in our family
– Thought unnecessary
– He had heard that I thought myself capable of , for no reason, strangling little Catherine in
her sleep.
why does the writer use language and structure to create feeling of fear in ‘Night’?
In your answer, you should write about:
the narrator’s sickness and the effect of prolonged mental illness
her nocturnal habit of going out at night
the use of language and structure
