Fear, Mr Jerome is Afraid - Coggle Diagram
Fear
The Woman In Black
Chapter 12 "The Woman In Black" Fear is shown when Arthur spots the woman in Black behind a tree while his wife and son are riding at the park in the pony trap
"I looked directly at her and she at me. There was no mistake. My eyes were not deceiving me. It was she, the woman in black with the wasted face, the ghost of Jennet Humfrye. For a second, I simply stared in incredulity and astonishment, then in cold fear."
-
"I had been as badly frightened as a man could be. I did not think that I would be the first to run from physical risks and dangers, although I had no reason to suppose myself markedly braver than the next person. But these other matters were altogether more terrifying, because they were intangible and inexplicable, incapable of proof and yet so deeply affecting. "
This quote from the Chapter Mr Jerome is Afraid fantastically demonstrates fear, showing how impacted Arthur was after one of his encounters with the woman in black, in which he had strained himself physically. In this instance, Arthur was perplexed and terrified by his encounter with the apparition and the inexplicable aspect of it, seeing as he didn't believe in ghosts, and this only added to the fright that he had experienced before.
In The Nursery
In chapter 9 we find many instances where Arthur is scared,like for example...
I managed to get out of bed, though I was shaken and my heart beat uncomfortably fast within me. But it took some time for me to find sufficient reserves of courage to enable me to open the bedroom door and stand out in the dark corridor.

Fear
Fear is a key component in gothic stories as it creates this feeling of tension and anxiety. This concept is really present throughout all of the chapters in the book. Fear also sets a mood and the atmosphere for a chapter, situation or book.
