The following piece of work is an analysis of the short fiction calledthe signalman by Charles dickens.The signal man is set in the mid 19th century. The main setting isthat of right beside a train tunnel where the main cite thesignal man stays to let trains through etc.The billline is set mostlyin the night time. The story has an eerie effect on me as a reader.While I was reading the signal man I picked up on the tenseatmosphere. At one point early on in the story, on that points a moment whichbrought the tension to the story in a strong way.He looked up at me without replying, and I looked agglomerate at him withoutrepeating too soon.I think this moment brings some tension as, it do me eager to seewhat was going to happen next.I excessively think that the silence of the signal man brings some darknessto the story. His silence made him seem like a sinister character.Charles Dickens describes him to use trade actions as well. In astrange way I enjoy how the signal man is so c reepy. I think I findthis, as it gives more depth to him as a character. He pointed to thered light he had looked at.His manner seemed to make the place strike colder to me.Throughout the story Dickens presents the narrator and the signal mandifferently.I feel the signal man is portrayed as lonely, quiet sinistercharacter. He had taught himself a nomenclature down here,--if only toknow it by sight, and to have formed his own crude ideas of itspronunciation. This shows that he has hardly any contact withexternal influences.I could imagine seeing the signal man on a frosty winters morning,feeling his stare, burning through my skin like a concentrated sun onpaper.He works alone in the middle o... ...f the signal man, it helped me realise whatDickens meant by the certain hand gestures made by the signalmanhimself. Also it gave another level to the tension and the closure wasmore forceful as well.The ending of the story does its job well. It brings the little piecesthat the story has collect together, explaining the truth aboutexplaining things that I questions earlier on. Like why the signal manpuzzled about why the narrator yelled Halloa Below there As wellas the strange stories that the lonely signal man had spoke of.Even though the story was short and realistic, I would not rememberit to other readers.I think it has a good impact, but is not my type of book overall. Ittakes a while to engulf the reader, and when it does, the story isalmost over. The ending is not powerful enough to change my thoughtson the story though
