Note:
Punctuation (continued from page 140).
A dash has the force of a strong comma, it marks sharper breaks in the continuity and achieves more definite effects of suspense than the comma.
A dash is put:
1) to mark a sharp or sudden turn in the thought or structure of a sentence, or an afterthought (e.g. But Anne — well, Anne was Anne — seemed not to notice);
2) to separate a parenthetical expression from the main clause (e.g. Here she is perfiaps at her best — and in the best sense — as a woman sympathizing with the sorrows peculiar to women);
Commas or brackets may also set off a parenthetical expression. The choice depends on several factors. If the parenthetical expression is relatively distant from the centre of the communication, one should prefer the brackets; if relatively near, the comma; if intermediate, the dash;
3) to set off a word or words summarizing a preceding series (e.g. Ups and downs, joys and sorrows — this is human life);
4) to set off a word or words intended to effect suspense, climax, or anticlimax (e.g. No pains — no gains);
5) to mark an unfinished sentence (e.g. 'He did not lie, he -' 'Yes, what?').
