MOST DANGEROUS GAME
“The world is made up of two classes. The hunters and huntees.” Imagine you’re trapped on an island, with no way out. Okay, now picture another man is also there, but is trying to hunt you. The Most Dangerous Game (MDG) is a great example of good literature, because of the literary devices being used. Imagery, suspense, and mood. Imagery is very important.. “The lights of the yacht became faint and ever vanishing fireflies. Then they were blotted out entirely by the night.” -pg. 218- and “They were eating borsch, the rich, red soup with whipped cream so dear to Russian plates” -pg.221- are great examples of imagery used by Richard Connell in the Most Dangerous Game because you can really picture bright lights eventually fade into the darkness of midnight and also the red soup with whipped cream on top, in a fancy bowl. Suspense helps the story have good literature. “I had to invent a new animal to hunt” -pg.224- and “The old charts call it Ship-Trap island” -pg.215- The way these show good literature is because, you can tell something is bound to happen. It really makes the story more of a serious moment, because you really don’t know what will happen until after the suspenseful moment is over. For example, Zaroff says “I had to invent a new animal to hunt.” do you really know what he means by that from the story, by the end of that passage one finds out that the “new animal” is actually another human, that’s really when you feel the suspense of that quote. When it says Its called Ship-Trap island, it really makes you think what it’s going to be about, or what that even means. Which is what gives it that suspenseful moment. Mood changes the whole story around. “A mental chill of sudden tread.” -pg.217- and “Then he felt an impulse to cry aloud with joy.” If there was not a tone/mood in any story, it would be extremely dull and boring. The mood can change from one emotion to another in a matter of seconds just reading within the novel.
