Yes, my blog is late. I would like to start off by saying that if I am unsure or unclear about what to do for an assignment or fear that I will not do it perfectly, I put it off. I’m going to call that being a perfectionist. So, now feeling like it is the last minute I will take a stab at it.
Terror is apparently the feeling you have when you think something bad is about to happen. That, stomach in your throat, hold your breath, tense every muscle in your body type of experience. This feeling can last for a few seconds before the horrible thing actually happens, or it can last days, in anticipation of something dreadful. Since I tend to steer clear of movies and literature that possess these type of terror related circumstances, it’s hard for me to think of examples. One that sort of fits this category is in the novel The English Patient when the nurse finds a man in a mine field and he cant move because he has stepped on a mine, and he urges her to not come any close, but she is set on helping him. So she walked through the mine field casually and carelessly as the man is yelling at her because she may die any second, but she makes it safely. That I think would constitute as terror.
Horror seems to be the scared feeling you experience once you are have encountered the thing that has elicited your terror. To actually come face to face with your fear. This can be seen in movies like scream, when the man in the mask jumps out from behind the door or under the bed and the victim experiences horror and reacts in a negative way to the aversive experience and the fear of what is happening to them.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
