The Bloody Chamber is written in a first person narrative, this is helpful when empathising with the character. There is an interesting use of short sentences;
'Dead as his wives'
These draw our attention to these sentences, perhaps they have a message behind them and extra attention is required.
Imagery is also used;
'Pool of blood'
This creates a picture in the readers head, combined with a first person narrative increasing suspension for the reader.
The repetition of;
'I was only a little girl'
is irony combined with foreshadowing as she is saved by her mum at the end.
Effects such as these all combined keep the readers attention to the short story making it more interesting to read.
