- Irony
- “About the hall were mounted heads of many animals — lions, tigers, elephants, moose, bears;larger or more perfect specimens Rainsford had never seen.” This is foreshadowing that he has hunted all of big game and there is one left: Humans.
- Conflict
- “Can’t see it,” remarked Rainsford, trying topeer through the dank tropical night that waspalpable as it pressed its thick warmblackness in upon the yacht.” This describes the mood of the setting.
- Climax
- “Don’t talk rot, Whitney,” said Rainsford. “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Whocares how a jaguar feels?”“Perhaps the jaguar does,” observed Whitney.“Bah! They’ve no understanding.”This is Ironic because when Rainsford gets hunted by General Zaroff, he understands how it feels to be hunted.
- Resolution
- “Oh,” said the general, “I give him his option, of course. He need not play that game if he doesn’twish to. If he does not wish to hunt, I turn him over to Ivan. Ivan once had the honor of servingas official knouter to the Great White Czar, and he has his own ideas of sport. Invariably, Mr.Rainsford, invariably they choose the hunt.”This shows that whoever goes on the island must be hunted.
- “Ever nearer drew the hounds. Rainsford forced himself on toward that gap. Hereached it. It was the shore of the sea. Across a cove he could see the gloomy gray stone of thechâteau. Twenty feet below him the sea rumbled and hissed. Rainsford hesitated. He heard thehounds. Then he leaped far out into the sea… “This is the climax because it is the most exciting point of the story
- “He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided.”This is the end of the story, so it is the resolution. Rainsford won.
