Question

The following question refers to the selection “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell.

Explain what the excerpts below from “The Most Dangerous Game” foreshadow in the story. Describe the effect this foreshadowing has on the reader.

Answer 1

An abrupt sound startled him. Off to the right he heard it, and his ears, expert in such matters, could not be mistaken. Again he heard the sound, and again. Somewhere, off in the blackness, someone had fired a gun three times. . . .

Rainsford heard a sound. It came out of the darkness, a high screaming sound, the sound of an animal in an extremity of anguish and terror.

He did not recognize the animal that made the sound; he did not try to; with fresh vitality he swam toward the sound. He heard it again; then it was cut short by another noise, crisp, staccato.

“Pistol shot,” muttered Rainsford, swimming on.
