(a Tiger) -- terrified or petrified. 2. (a ghost) -- scared, but anxious and thrilled at the same time! 3. (God or any supernatural almighty power) -- awed.http://www.englishforums.com/English/DifferentKindsFearSuggestionWords/vwvmj/post.htmMon, 23 Mar 2009 11:00:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:374757Davidckchiu3http://www.englishforums.com/English/DifferentKindsFearSuggestionWords/vwvmj/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-374757.xmlIn CS Lewis's The Problem of Pain, he described there could be different kind of fears (or should I use "different kinds of fear"). Imagine you are just next to a room in which there is 1.) a Tiger, 2.) a ghost, 3. )God or any supernatural almighty power. And now the door is going to be opened. I suppose we will be all in some sort of fear. Which word would you try to use to describe that fear in the three different situations ? Cheers David
