of offer. While reading this poem, I realised that literature had to entertain us and the most important part of this entertainment was played by emotions, as well. If there are no emotions felt by the reader, s/he does not get involved in the story and the conversation between him/her and the writer can not occur. There are several sorts of emotions that make us involed in the story of a novel. Here is an example of fear, through a quote from Bram Stoker's famous Dracula:
