Choices: Mystery (agree) vs. Dilemma (disagree)

Clip from book:
In more literary forms of fiction the suspense often involves not so much the question what as the question why—not “What will happen next?” but “Why is the protagonist behaving this way? How is the protagonist’s behavior to be explained in terms of human personality and character?” The forms of suspense range from crude to subtle and may involve not only actions but psychological considerations and moral issues as well. Writers use two common devices to create suspense: they introduce an element of mystery (an unusual set of circumstances for which the reader craves an explanation) or they place the protagonist in a dilemma (a position in which he or she must choose between two courses of action, both undesirable). But suspense can readily be created for most readers by placing anybody on a seventeenth-story window ledge or simply by bringing together two attractive, sexy young people.
