Suspense

A suspenseful moment in my novel was when the protagonist reads a line of poetry to a group of women who were visiting him and his wife. These women had never read books or any form of literature in their lives, for in this novel, books have been prohibited by the government. When he finishes reading this, the women are visibly distressed by the content of the poetry. One of them state that she will never step foot in his house ever again. Montag, (the protagonist) responded with the following which created suspense for me.
"Go home." Montag fixed his eyes upon her, quietly. "Go home and think of your your first husband divorced and your second husband killed in a jet and your third husband blowing his brains out, go home and think of the dozen abortions you've had, go home and think of that and your damn Caesarian sections, too, and your children who hate your guts! Go home and think of how it all happened and what did you ever do to stop it? Go home, go home!" He yelled. "Before I knock you down and kick you out the door!"
This created suspense by the reader reading with growing anticipation for what the reaction of the women would be. From the point of view of the reader, (who sees Montag as the only normal character in the book) him saying all of that to the woman would be sure to provide some foreshadowing as to that the relations between them will soon deteriorate. The mood is also very serious and somewhat hostile because of the argument which took place prior to the women exiting the house.
