Awe – it is, perhaps, the most wonderful feeling a person can experience. Its nature cannot be uniquely determined. However, the word “awe” there is another meaning. Consider the word in all the detail.

thrill of it

Significance

The Meaning that can Express the word, not varied and fit in two values:

  1. Flickering or oscillation (of light or the eyelashes).
  2. Feeling, similar to fear or apprehension. As expressed any strong emotion.

It is written in the dictionary. But we believe that the dictionary reports only the General meaning of words and ignores the colours. Indeed, when talking about what someone in front of someone in awe, for example, the younger brother is in awe of the elders, it means fear. But fear is a more complex feeling than the mere excitement or fear. There is always both positive and negative traits.

Here is an example. A student in the exam trembles: on the one hand, very worried, and on the other hand, anticipates the denouement of their efforts, no matter they lasted the entire semester or one night. And if a boy or girl is not ready, they absorb the abyss of fear, and no inspiration there at all. Awe – it's an amazing feeling that isn't immediately be explained.

Synonyms

I Must say that “physical” the meaning of the word analog to pick up easily. More difficult with a portable. But let's start with the more simple tasks.

  • Flicker.
  • Oscillation.
  • Shake.

Portable value more difficult because full is not unique. But it is possible in some cases to replace this:

  • Fear;
  • Fear;
  • Light horror;
  • Anxiety;
  • The jitters;
  • Anticipation.

When it was about the student, it is clear that it is dominated by negative feeling tones. Hardly anyone likes exams, even Hermione Granger can boast special love to test their knowledge, although, seemingly, it nothing to worry about. By the way, food for thought: do you know why Leo Tolstoy left the University? It humiliated the procedure of examinations. Therefore, the count left the case. However, again we digress, but then the most interesting. Consider the case when the thrill is dominated by positive emotions.

List of thrillers

It would Seem, and here movies, it's about the language? Yeah, but the thing is that the genre got its name from the English word thrill-thrill, excitement. Hence, the films of this wonderful genre can be used as example illustrations or stimulant for those who have such enthusiasm and anticipation associated with fear, never experienced (you suddenly find). So, the five films (the choice is arbitrary):

  • “the silence of the lambs" (1990).
  • «Seven» (1995).
  • “Sixth sense" (1999).
