simple, for a younger audience
formal in the case of Death
rhetorical devices allude to a more literate audience
humour
the first essential factor that either hooks the reader or pushes him away
Tone
straightforward
ellipsis (leaves some imagination)
"out of place" descriptions drop subtle hints about the atmosphere/setting
e.g. "a seagull was flying backwards" suggests strong gusts of wind
Death is perceived as dead emotionally and superior
the break of character, in Death and Isplore e.g. lead to bathos
pathetic fallacy/chain of being
Narrator
thorough background, and omniscient of protaginist
assisting character
favorable or relateable tone
emotion portrayed

characters who have risen to power (e.g. cheated Death) become ethereal , less emotional, and more suited to their position

foreshadowing leads to suspense
fonts, format, shifting in character all contribute to a twist in the audience's expectations
