2. “I could not bear to stay there, for fear, but nor had I any strength left in my body to turn and run away” - This quote reveals how affected he was by the sight of the woman that he was unable to move. The quote, “ I could not bear to stay there, for fear” shows how alarming and horrifying the sight must be Arthur to want to “turn and and run away”.  The quote, “nor I had any strength left in my body” shows how Arthur was so afraid and fearful that he was frozen and could not move. So shocked was he that he could not find the strength to move away.

3. “I stood absolutely helpless in the mist that clouded me and everything from my sight, almost weeping in agony of fear and frustration” - Arthur was so terrified because he just stood there not doing anything to help himself ‘I stood absolutely helpless’. Arthur was so terrified because he couldn’t see anything thorough the mist that he weeped because of fear and frustration ‘weeping in agony of fear and frustration.

4.”free myself from the nightmares, to escape from my own semi-conscious sense of dread and foreboding” - This quote shows how much the experience of Eel Marsh house and the woman in black was affecting her.  The words, “free myself from the nightmares” shows how his nightmares were so horrifying and frightening that he was compelled to try and escape them. The phrase “my own semi-conscious sense of dread and foreboding” shows his fear towards the woman, the house, and the marshes.

5.”these other matters were altogether more terrifying, because they were intangible and inexplicable, incapable of proof and yet so deeply affecting” - this quote shows how terrified Arthur was of the matters that couldn’t be explained. Arthur is a very rational man that doesn’t like things that can’t be explained. This is seen through ‘altogether more terrifying’. He thinks that his experience is more frightening than any other because he can not explain what ahd happened and can’t be proved to be real. Arthur’s experiences with the unexplainable and the intangible affects him more deeply than any other experiences he have had.

Supernatural:
1. ‘She had appeared and then vanished in a way that surely no real, living, fleshly human being could possibly manage to do.’ - this quote tells us the the woman is supernatural because she appeared out of nowhere then disappeared all the same. ‘She had appeared and then vanished’. Arthur also thinks that because she appeared and vanished so suddenly that she must be supernatural and can’t possibly be a living human. ‘No real, living, fleshly human being’.

2. ‘There was no visitor, or at least no human visitor’ -

3. ‘How could I lie here and ignore even the crying of some long dead ghost?’ -

4. ‘She was not a real, living, breathing human being’ - This quote shows how the woman in Black was supernatural as she was described as “not a real, living , breathing human being”. This description gives an impression of a dead, ghost-like human. 

5. ‘I have seen whatever ghosts haunts El Marsh and that burial ground’ - this quote tells us that Arthur has seen ‘I have seen’ the ghost that haunts El Marsh House and the burial ground. This tells us that he believes in th supernatural otherwise he wouldn’t think that he saw a ghost.

This is a very chilling and unnerving description of the inexplicable appearance of the woman. The passage describes the woman as supernatural, through the use of descriptive language such as her having ‘a ghostly pallor’. 

2. ‘Yes I had a story, a true story, a story of haunting and evil, fear and confusion, horror and tragedy.’

-This extract from the book implies that Arthur, earlier in life, had a true, mortifying encounter with something supernatural that he does not wish to burden anyone with.

3. ‘Something emanating from her still, silent presence, in each case by a grave, had communicated itself to me so strongly that I felt indescribable repulsion and fear.’

This quote shows that the appearance of the woman had affected even-headed Arthur very strongly, and negatively, causing him to experience ‘indescribable repulsion and fear’. 

4. “She was extremely pale, only the thinnest layer of flesh was tautly stretched and strained across her bones, so that it gleamed with a curious, blue-white sheen, and her eyes seemed sunken back into her head.”

This passage uses extremely descriptive language as it describes the Woman in Black as Arthur sees her for the first time. The description gives off a negative effect as it describes her to be like a skeleton or ghost, with all her life drained out of her causing a “blue-white sheen”. 

5. ‘I began to suspect that the pony trap that I heard on the marsh, the pony trap with the child who had cried out so terribly...they, too had not been real, not there, present, not substantial, but ghostly also.’

-This passage, from Arthur’s perspective, shows that Arthur has come to a conclusion about the creepy, weird sounds heard in the mist. He now believes that the pony trap and child were from the past.

1. “Never known myself gripped and held by such dread and horror and apprehension of evil.”
Analyse: this quote shows that Arthur was suprised how much fear he was in. He says he has never experienced this amount of fear before.
2. “I turned and turned about trying to top free myself from the nightmares to escape from my own semi-conscious sense of dread and foreboding.”
Analyse: this quote shows that Arthur is being haunted by his experiences with the woman in black and the surroundings of eel marsh house. He says he is trying to stop himself from being in a state of fear.

3.”what i heard next chilled and horrified me. I could neither understand or account for it.”
Analyse: this quote shows how the noises of eel marsh house are affecting Arthur. Since Arthur hears only noises it is reasnobaly harder to identify what is making the noises. He cannot figure out why these noises are appearing.

4. “I began to yell until I thought my lungs would burst and then to run foward but then stopped.”
Analyse: this quote explains that arthur is in such a state of fear that he begains to shout and run away from the cause of his fear. He does not think about losing breath because he has to get away from the unpleasant event. 

-In this quote, Arthur describes how he could not comprehend how terrifying the object of his fear was and still be in his right mind.

   2. “Mr Jerome looked frozen, pale, his throat moving as if he were unable to utter. At last, he managed to shake his head – I almost would say, that he shook himself, as though making an extreme effort to pull himself together after suffering a momentous shock, though the colour did not return to his face and the corners of his lips seemed tinged with blue.”

This quote comes after Arthur asking Mr Jerome about the Woman in Black, describing his reaction. It is obvious that Mr Jerome was deeply affected by the mention of the Woman in Black based off his reactions. At the end of the quote – “his lips seemed tinged with blue”, gives the impression that it was as if his heart had stopped beating. 

     3. ‘I do not know how long I stood there in fear and trembling and in dreadful bewilderment. I lost all sense because of time and ordinary reality. Through my head went a tumbling confusion of half-thoughts and emotions, visions of spectres and of real fleshy intruders, ideas of murder and violence, and all manner of odd, distorted fears.’

This reaction of Arthur occurs after he had discovered that the door to the nursery stood open. As is depicted in this quote, he was quite deeply affected and shaken by this, as his logical mind could not comprehend how the door had come to be open. The quote ‘I lost all sense of time and ordinary reality,’ displays Arthur's evident confusion at this event. 

4. ‘I tried two or three times to stride across to her but each time I had to pull free abruptly for fear of going under myself...the poor dog was making choking noises now and rubbing her head against mine over and over, no doubt both terrified and also in great pain.’

-This extract shows that Arthur and Spider were both terrified of drowning in the the mud and even after both freeing themselves and avoiding death, they still were left in shock of the experience.

5. “I sweated, I turned and turned about, trying to free myself from the nightmares, to escape from my own semi-conscious sense of dread and foreboding, and all the time, piercing through the surface of my dreams...I stood, helpless in the mist, though I could not see, only sense her dark presence, hovered the woman.”

This quote shows Arthur, trying to sleep after seeing the Woman in Black for the second time. He recalls the scene in his mind as nightmares. We can see that Arthur is slowly losing is rationality and mortified of the Woman in Black as he concedes finally that she is non-human.
