In TMDG....

In The Most Dangerous Game, the author creates suspense by carefully placing elements of
foreshadowing throughout the story. Littering the tale, foreshadowing is helpful in creating the
 sense of irony and suspense that is pleasant in conveying reality to the reader and makes the
experience more enjoyable. Connell executes this technique perfectly. As Rainsford and
Whitney discuss the island, Whitney claims that "There are two classes of people, the hunters
 and the huntees, luckily you and I are the hunters." (15) This point is ironically emphasized later
 in the story, thus creating a suspenseful situation with its strange placing and word choices so
 early in the story. Accordingly, more suspense is added in the form of uncertainty and apprehension
 as Zaroff explains he and Ivan to Rainsford, carelessly commenting "...like all his race a bit Savage...[He's] Cossack, so am I." (17) a stark contrast to the lush surroundings, fine wine and clothing that
Zaroff keeps pristine. This conversation puts doubt about Zaroff into the reader's mind when
 they thought that he wasn't that formidable an adversary. In The Most Dangerous Game,
 foreshadowing is introduced to us early on, becoming a general theme in the story and presenting
 to us suspense in it's most basic form. As the story unravels we get a taste of the grisly irony that
 it holds for us when the strange sentences and the like comes clean to our understanding. This foreshadowing is reiterated redundantly throughout the story paired with bizarre placing and
word choice thus creating gripping suspense which makes us bit our nails and continue to read on.



This was really really hard for me.
